"Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten. The political prisoner in his cell, the hungry children, the homeless refugees -- not to respond to their plight, not to relieve their solitude by offering them a spark of hope is to exile them from human memory. And in denying their humanity, we betray our own." -Elie Weisel
This speech was delivered 12 April 1999, Washington, D.C.

This was a very well-done speech that opened up lots of questions about indifference. Why did certain entities act indifferently and perform certain acts? There may be no answer. Maybe the whole idea is for us as individuals to not be indifferent ever ever again.
