This quote from Hesse is pretty powerful. It basically says that being indifferent, mocking, or cruel can be just as harmful as actually doing physical harm. Think about a time when you saw someone getting bullied, and everyone just stood by, not doing anything. That’s indifference. Or when someone’s being laughed at, and the jokes cut deep. That’s mockery. Both can feel like a knife to the heart. Remember that friend who got mocked for their clothes? It might seem like just words, but it can hurt like hell. Next time, try stepping in. A simple “Hey, that’s not cool” can make all the difference. Let’s choose kindness over cruelty and engagement over indifference. It really can be life-changing.
