Random Thoughts - Caring

started by RS-K 3 mnths ago

Caring is when you dive into other people's lives, and involve yourself in their matters. 

Caring is also when you keep yourself out of their lives. 

Maturity is when you know which one to do and when. 


For the first type of caring, you need to have a lot of zeal and empathy. For the second type of caring, you need to have a lot of resolve and foresightedness. For the maturity, you need to have a selfless and a balanced perspective.

Really interesting thoughts with a good focus towards balanced and selfless perspective.

Balanced selfless( )perspective may sound a bit like the work of decadency  
Not interesting to  or  or  or   or  or  or  or interact with emoticons - who know?
As if media follow the balanced code...
Pay back with the same coin - hurts eh!
Well the idea is always for Hits - pop flop or anything...

Interesting definitions.

My def(s) would be:

*Caring is staying in the sidelines and reaching out (never diving!)...and offering encouragement, support (psychological as well as other resources- financial, references/referrals etc).

"Keeping out (being indifferent) of the life of the people one cares about (if the person is fully aware that they have the ability/capability to offer encouragement and support (as in the resources above)...imo, is uncaring (in religious terms one could call this "sins of omission" vs "sins of commission" where-one dives and "gets involves" in other people's lives, which can end up doing more harm instead).

*Again in my view...there is nothing wrong in simply saying "if you need me for support or know other ways I can help- don't hesitate to ask- will  gladly do what I can, if it is possible".

all such discussions will lead to "detachment" as opposed to being "attached" or "indifferent". Too much caring is attachment/interference while not caring at all is apathy. what is detachment per u O sweetly wise one? How was the vacation? care to share?

If I gave examples, they won't stay so random, aye?

Sometimes, you help your kid in her troubles. Yet other times, you must know to stay out of her business. Maturity is to know when to jump in, and when to stay out. She may ask u to stay out, but you should know that u can't. She may ask for your help and blame u if you don't, but u must know not to, depending on the situation. 

That was a kid-parent example. Same logic goes in friendships, etc. too.

Caring is when you dive into other people's lives, and involve yourself in their matters. 

When it comes to friendship, isn't diving into and involving in their matters sound little too much?

No. I have done that too when needed. Not making this up. If it is a strong friendship, you can do it. And I only make strong friendships. Maybe that's why I have so few friends. I have fully interfered in my friends' life, when I thought they needed it. Ya, sometimes you take a flak for it (from others if not from them), but it's all ok. I am dheeth that way. 

But then, sometimes you know your presense will hinder their path. That's the time you should know to stay out, even if they want you to stay.

I read this quote somewhere on a cartoon, "A good friend may not be able to pull you out, but he will not let you fall".

So then no point being random.
For every random thoughts of yours
there should be an equal an' opposite
nonrandom views?

wah wah,  HerbenZ Newton
bahut badiya causal equation u put forth
par reality is that the human body is composed of nerves and muscles any synapses.
These fire electrical impulse randomly (you can assume each one of them is an independent identically distributed random variable) and a chain of these impulse would form a single thought process.  An non-random thought process is something that is planned and precise and would be started as a chain reaction from the brain. The point is that there will be millions of random events between 1 non-random event in this complicated neural system called the human body..
  HerbenZ Kaur posted Re:Random Thoughts - Caring on 3 mnths ago

The human body you see
however random it might appear
processes with a definite plan and order 
and purpose. There is no chance
that there be any random event
however complicated the network be.

  shakenbut!stirred posted Re:Random Thoughts - Caring on 3 mnths ago
Haanjee
And next you will tell me that you have 100% definite proof that there is  a GOD/GODDESS who controls all our thought processes..
  HerbenZ Kaur posted Re:Random Thoughts - Caring on 3 mnths ago
O Nahi jee,
That is where comes randomness 
when you bring those GOD/GODDESS.

Caring for anything is a virtue, but it should be selfless.

  Gatita posted Re:Random Thoughts - Caring on 3 mnths ago
Perhaps the best medicine for another individual to understand  the tissue of love and care because is a tissue a fragment of feelings which become flesh after you open your heart to another... "love is not an issue for me" is "tissue" this is why it pains and hurts and it gets harm...

Even when you try to craft your relationship into something responsive your heart is not there or your mind is were you think you gain some challanging maturity and suppose to be over with and so this new love or past love becomes a forgeiner it appeares normal to the outside world and in fact you might hide it but then it attacks... when you are alone or working when you try to keep it out of what you think is the mind and for all that is good it becomes clearler that God is there to help because as you feel the tears in your soul its starts to rain as if God knows your pain...

So clearly the nature of ones self being becomes all in evryone esles life...

Perhaps the only medicine is to be mature of certain circustances but not think that its a therapy for anything or preventing another pain that this time is only cause by ones hand... in fact ones actions and treating your heart first before treating anothers :)

Sorry I am been so profound as I feel a little melodramatic lately
