Module 2
Lesson 6
Valuing Others and Their Circumstances
YOUR JOURNEY
Overcoming Indifference
Sometimes that which hinders harmonious relationship among people is not just
the lack of trust, communication, or time. It’s simple indifference. The human
relationship that has real difficulty surviving is when people have gone into the “me,
myself and I” mode and become indifferent toward each other. Indifference is not caring
about what the other person does - a challenge we all have to overcome.
In this lesson, you will learn how your indifference can adversely affect the life of
another and how caring for someone can be a means to peace.
