Indifference

On the pilot episode of Caprica (The Syfy Channel) Daniel Greystone tells Joseph Adams (Adama) that "A difference that makes no difference, is no difference".   The human condition wants novelty - change.  When there is no change, there's boredom.

I'm reading "The Science of Happiness" by Stefan Klein, PHD.  Dopamine - the molecule of desire is what drives us.  It is the desire that makes us smart and without it learning is difficult.  Curiosity goes with that -  "it is one of the personality's most stable indicators" says Dr. Klein. 

So next time someone says - what do you want to do today -------  don't say   -  I'm indifferent.
