CARING IS ENNOBLING

Take care of all your memories. for you cannot relive them.                                                                                                                                    Bob Dylan


C is for 'Caring'

Note: Pl. scroll down for sky watch shots.

For this post, I’ve taken up a C-word, which subsumes under its sweet canopy one of the priceless emotions. The word is ‘Caring’. It is a seminal concept, encompasses our cardinal emotions, which make us human. Our life would be barren if nature has not endowed us with feelings of love, compassion, kindness, and concern. Someone who cares is the lucky bearer of all these qualities.

Caring conjures up in the mind many sweet sensations.  Nothing is comparable to the nurturing care our parents bestow on us. If I relive my purest memory, it is that of our beloved parents who used to take care of all our needs when we’ ere growing up. I still remember how my mom would indulge me with tea/lemon water/ milk or whatever I wished for while I sat at my study table for long hours during exams. At times when I’s unwell how she used to hover around me to comfort me and to ensure that I felt better. In some situations, I would be selfish and demanding but my parents never took notice of that. They cared. They loved unconditionally.

Caring for others does wonders for their growth, confidence and personality development. It is like anchoring somebody to reach his potential.

Caring also means never hurting others. Before passing nasty comments, keep in mind that we've no right to rob others of their peace of mind.

Giving a helping hand in discharging household duties is also a form of caring.

Caring for others is ennobling and divine. It is a selfless regard. It blesses the one who receives care and for the one who gives.

Family life would be much more stable and devoid of conflicts if every spouse tries to understand and care for the other while facing life’s countless challenges.

Everybody knows caring and loving our pets is so rewarding. They are not only our faithful friends but great stress busters as well.

I think life would be much more joyful if we consciously do our bit for people around us.

CARING IS AN ATTITUDE

C is for CARE/CARING.

Here comes another Wednesday and the letter C needs befriending, to start a little conversation with it.

For letter C, my mind mapping steered me to choose the word ‘Care’.  Care subsumes under its sweet canopy so many warm emotions and insights, which are integral to our wholesome existence on this earth. The term ‘Care’ acts as a root, when specific suffixes form a part of its structure. For example, words like caring, careful, caregiver, carefree and careless are generated. All of them relate semantically to the word care in some way or the other.

However, I‘ll limit myself to dwell on the concept of ‘Care’ as it singly encompasses a whole gamut of feelings and emotions. They constitute robust passions of love, kindness, altruism, sympathy, generosity and many more.

When you care, it is implicit that you possess all the life-promoting qualities. The primary one is the constancy of character.  A caring person has a positive orientation and is devoid of any type of maliciousness or envy. Rather he endeavors to help others to succeed. He is inspirational as well as aspirational and rubs the same attitude on those who come in his contact.

His dealings with others are rational and his belief in equality and righteousness is unfaltering like a rock. Without expecting any credit, he contributes to societal responsibilities with genuine commitment.  Caring people are noble and do their utmost to uplift the less privileged. The motto “service before self” becomes the mainstay of their personality.

A caring teacher is a sensitive human being.  Being judgmental is inimical to his nature. He believes in encouraging his students   to excel in whichever field they choose.

On the other hand, a caring parent would instill a value system based on morality and goodwill in his children.

A caring child would understand the difference of outlook of his parents from his own and will learn to accept it and respect it.

Those who care are sympathetic listeners and perform a valuable service to the community by building trust and dependability.

Caring also means ignoring the idiosyncrasies and flaws of others and giving precedence only to the goodness of the individuals.

The world will be a much better place, if frictions and conflicts, which have vitiated the life of the law-abiding citizens, are replaced by a caring and loving attitude towards humanity.

 

Let's not forget that caring also means that we should remain steadfast in our principled points of view.

 Friends,welcome here as always!
