Sometimes disinterest occurs simply because of a difference in tastes.
Disinterest is the absence of interest . The idea of interest, meanwhile, can refer to the inclination of the mind towards something ; to convenience ; or to profit .
a matter of taste
When a subject shows disinterest in an issue, he or she does not pay attention to it or care about it . In this way, it does not carry out any action related to the issue.
Suppose a father wants his son to become a soccer player, but the child is not attracted to this sport. The man gives him a ball, takes him to the stadiums to attend the games and suggests he watch matches on TV: the little boy, however, does not play with the ball and becomes bored as a spectator. There is a lack of interest, therefore, among minors regarding football.
In the example mentioned, disinterest is not negative, but is simply a consequence of a person's way of being or preferences. In some cases, however, disinterest implies a moral failure . If someone sees an injured elderly man on the street and continues walking without helping him, this lack of interest in the fate of others is condemnable.
Altruism
The concept of selflessness, on the other hand, is associated with the altruism of someone who does not seek their own benefit or benefit. To act selflessly, in this sense, is to do so without asking or wanting anything in return.
Let's take the case of a group of volunteers who live in a coastal area. These individuals meet once a week to clean the beach , picking up trash that others throw in the sand. These activists do not receive money for their work, nor do they receive formal recognition. It can be said that they do it with disinterest.
This trait is highly appreciated in a person, because it shows that they are capable of empathizing with others to help them without expecting anything in return. We could say that acting in a selfless way speaks of a very broad vision of life, which goes beyond the tangible and immediate . The common good, one much greater than what can affect only us, that is the objective it pursues.
On the other hand, we should not make the mistake of measuring any situation with this same rule, especially in the professional field. For a person to demand payment for their work is normal, except in very specific cases that should be addressed in a particular way. Unfortunately, in certain areas people accuse those who try to support themselves financially through their work as “materialistic”; For example: if they place advertisements on their blogs.
Disinterest in studying
The concept of school , inevitably accompanied by study , is associated with a series of negative feelings and sensations on the part of students, especially adolescents. This can be seen in different attitudes, one of them being disinterest. Student time can be too tedious for many, making them feel that it is of no use to them to acquire the proposed knowledge, and at that point they lose interest .
Children and adolescents often feel disinterested in studying.
This phenomenon is similar to children's relationship with vegetables: although there are many who enjoy a plant-based diet, there is a myth that products such as broccoli or chard disgust them, and that they prefer a hamburger with fries. Both are worrying, since a poorly nutritious diet puts future health at risk, just as poor education prevents fulfillment in adulthood.
But also in both cases the disinterest is not capricious, but rather occurs due to a failure in the adults, in the teaching methods. If we do not explain to the little ones why they should eat vegetables or study, we cannot expect them to understand it on their own, at least not before it is too late.
