I'll have to disagree on that one. While of course for the person itself it's not a problem, I find it to be a problem to everybody else - as they are used, abused then disposed of when not necessary. That applies to small things like interpersonal relationships to big things like how our world works.

As for saying that a balanced person is to be apathetic, I also strongly disagree. There's a difference between not worrying for things you can't control and being apathetic. But (and that is a problem I find is much too common in our society) I strongly believe that only empathy is human - apathy is sign of mental illness.
