Apathy

All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.

-- Albert Camus

According to wikipedia, apathy is is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion. The word comes from the Greek apatheia, from apathēs (without feeling), from a (not) + pathos (emotion).

Apathy sometimes refers to political indifference, and is used to describe the state of mind of people who do not feel any political interest or do not want to take political action in a political system even when not taking it would affect them negatively. I am however refering to the other type of apathy. The kind of apathy that makes one feel emotional detachment and virtually inside a shell (funny, it seems there are also people who cannot detach and that is considered a disorder too).

Tomorrow is Monday again. The same repetitive cycle all over again. 168 hours of nonsense being lead by routine, which, on the other hand, is the only factor that is able to relieve sluggishness.
