Care...
Care... This word has been used so often in our everyday lives that few pause to ponder over its actual meaning. While a variation of definitions surfaces, I do believe that a big bunch who does truly filter this word through the analytical process of the brain will nod their heads in agreement with my definition!
To me, to care for your best friend or someone who matters a lot to you means more than just to visit the person in the hospital when he is seriously sick or when half of his leg is cut off. Nor does it simply refer to a few hours of talk when the person is heartbroken. Care also does embrace the little not-very-significant events that befall the person, and therefore, land the person in the state of sorrow--if not depression.
A simple text to ask whether the person is doing okay, however insignificant it may seem, in fact, does lift up the spirit of the person in a surprising way. So does the straight look in the eyes followed by sincere words of concern, "Are you okay?"
There are a lot of people out there who claim they care, but they do not seem to be able to demonstrate such things as mentioned above. They are not good listeners; that is to say, they do not seem to pay much attention to the heart-breaking stories you are sharing with them. To make matters worse, they dismiss the stories and bring in their own instead. Some others who also claim they care but who in actuality do not may take you for granted in the crowd. They may get carried away by the new phones they have bought and just sit there pressing buttons taking no heeds of the others in their presence.
Care or not, you think about it again!
