Acedia: Feeling really "blah" or empty inside, like you have no energy or interest to do anything
Let's get curious, because knowledge illuminates.
The Ancient Word: That word Acedia... it comes from Greek akēdeia – meaning literally "lack of care." The desert mothers and fathers saw it not just as sadness, but as a dangerous spiritual apathy, a weariness that made tending to one's soul feel impossible. It’s the soul saying, "I just... can't." Naming it helps us see it not as a personal failing, but as a recognized state of being.
