The title of this mini podcast is, I Don't Care. I dare say it's one of the biggest cop outs of all time. I don't care. We've all said it.
Sometimes we really mean it, but often we don't. I don't care can be a pretty effective protection mechanism. Someone says something that hurts us, does something that disappoints us, and rather than admit that it got to us, we put up the shield.
