In responding to another PC'er's post moments ago, it occurred to me to post this question. How long can a person go on not caring about anything? (Of course, this presumes that it really is possible to not care about anything, zilch, nada... I don't know if this is in fact really possible. We may think we literally don't care about anything. But, in fact, there are things we would care about were they to come up.)

But, for the sake of this posting, let's presume that it is in fact possible to simply not care about anything. How long could one live in such a state? Could one potentially live whatever remains of a full normal human lifetime without caring about anything? What do you think?

This is more than a philosophical discussion for me. I frequently ask myself how long I can go on living the ruse I have lived for the majority of my adult life. I don't know that I could truthfully say that I don't care about anything. But the unrelenting angst I experience is, I think, essentially similar to being in a state of not caring about anything. So I'm anxious to know what other PC'ers think.
