Empathy is a double edged sword. Makes one feel guilty at the drop of the hat. So how to tackle apathy? How does one take the indifference from others? Turn cold and indifferent or continue to sprinkle warmth in the relationship?

Neither. Yet both. The longer (& more treacherous) path is to play one’s true self. It requires maximum patience, median oversight and minimal fueds. The shorter (& more combustible) path is to give it all back. Ofcourse all is fair in love and war; especially this which is a cold war. Either ways you need a tons of introspection, planning overhaul, understanding of the dynamics and putting the right messages out at the right time. It’s no less efforts than required in active politics!
