Parallel to the feeling that the world demands an individual response to the circumstances imposed on it, there runs, sometimes latent, sometimes manifest, the certainty that the world, in truth, is indifferent: it demands nothing and expects nothing from anyone. This gives rise to an unbearable feeling of helplessness in some people, which leads to inertia and demotivation. The problem is certainly in the world: it is in having it as an arbiter, in wanting to have it as a friend, in demanding rewards from it. It is clear that all this stems from an inner maladjustment. Being indifferent to indifference is not enough, nor does it solve anything; what is enough is to have something stable as the basis of motivation.
