I snapped this picture on my way to a morning dentist appointment last winter. One of the nurses inside said the snowman was there when they showed up at 7am, greeting them with a toothbrush and dental floss attached to stick arms. Someone had a lot of fun, but no one knew who.

Re-definition
You're apathetic if: most others are more excited about something than you.
You're a zealot if: most others are not as excited about something as you.
Language is perception. Tolerance comes in degrees.
Apathetics are usually very tolerant of zealots. Zealots are not usually very tolerant of apathetics.
Apathy is often the result of long periods of introspection. Zealotry is often a short-lived infatuation.
Apathetics are not very productive. Zealots are very productive.
Apathetics wish things were otherwise. Zealots try to make them otherwise.
We all have streaks of each of these in us. We're never completely one or the other, and there are times when one or the other is more suitable.

I know "apathetics" isn't a word. Whatever.
