Indifference vs. Opposition

Indifference is worse than opposition. Indifference leaves the sword on the shelf; opposition sharpens it. Opposition and debate and controversy are the sharpening stones of our minds and hearts.

Opposition at least has a valuing, albeit misguided, of what is valuable. Indifference rips away the value of truth. At the heart of opposition is passion to recognize and promote what is right; indifference doesn't even pick it up. One who opposes might be corrected and embrace his corrected position; one who is indifferent is close to hopeless. He cares not for what is valuable.
