We willingly care for the physical needs of others. But what about their emotional needs? Is anyone concerned about their fears, their hopelessness or their insecurities? Listen; just be there and you care. Being caring is my best asset. I care for the people around me especially to those who are closed to me. When people complain to me how depressed or problematic they are, I just let them cry besides me and listen as they share their feelings. Some may not appreciate of what I am doing but it’s alright. Indeed, the pleasure I received from this is truly great. When my thoughts are of them, I forget what’s bothering me. It seems more logical that it is a better thing to do. Somehow, caring for others really takes little effort and relieves my plight. That care filled the love cup of others that it overflowed to fill my own.
Even if I can’t prevent another’s sorrow, at least, I can lessen it by caring. In essence, time spent caring is never time wasted. It’s the quality and spirit of our care that will determine, to a great degree, whether or not the significant people in our lives will have healthy love cups or leaky ones!
