What is the result of apathy?

I was searching through the internet, attempting to find a visual description of apathy that represented my idea of disinterest. Initially I thought of a pictorial description of blank space, a void, or something that more-or-less described "nothingness".

I thought back on the lack of interest that a lack of interest sparks emotionally.

Apathy requires a polar opposite pull to mean anything in order to evoke strong emotion. A better visual description of apathy, then, is one that evokes a highly energetic (and energy, here, can mean anything - positive or negative) response.

What I found is a photograph taken during this "wartime" in Iraq. I think it evokes, perfectly, the resulting consequence of apathy which underlies our current governmental administration.

Please be aware that the following image is extremely graphic and my be emotionally and/or physically offensive.

This is what I found: http://poetry.rotten.com/failed-mission/

I was called a faggot the other day. Being called a faggot is nothing less than apathy. Being called a faggot is the same type of apathetic reaction that sparks the beginning of the death of the man in the photograph from our current war.
