Caring (kindness & concern) is such an endearing (love & affection) word & humans thrive on this both to receive & gift it. Apply it to a cat & they purr. To a dog when petting, they rollover with satisfaction but to another human? This can heal in ways no one knows. Caring for another & or helping them, goes beyond words & even time as we remember it all our lives.
LARGE DOSES
This can right all wrongs, change your life, give hope & keep us human just by participating in the process. A juvenile delinquent gets this & it may go to work immediately or go to seed to bloom at a later time, but it will work guaranteed
NO REASON NEEDED
There are no conditions, qualifiers or learning process on either end of this giving & receiving. You just do it or have it done to you & it goes to work with no further instructions needed. Joining "love", receiving it or giving it, & love will have its way
MY YOUNGER YEARS
I needed to receive help of what kind; I could not tell you then but now I know it was nurturing as my young moments of life were so simple & carefree without an agenda. The greatest thing youth has going for is a natural blithe spirit (carefree) way. Being taught "boundaries" enhances the journey for any child or adult
TIMING PLAYS A PART TOO
What if someone is not ready to receive either one? The process becomes more challenging as with young kids & adult teens, telling them what to do & when has a rebelliousness to it. In other words, you can make matters worse. Parenting comes with no instruction booklet, briefing or guarantee. Kids don't know this & parents learn as they go. That is the system & we all are subject to it & travel by it
WORTHY NOTE: Thats where the famous; "wait until you become a parent" comes in & boy, does it make the point when it does, allowing us to stop judging parents
HOW ABOUT THIS
Someone who is in bad need of shape-up lessons but manages to put out leave me alone vibes that make helping, loving or caring near impossible to administer. But then, isn't that the true test of the system? The person (all of us) may have to step up when another needs them, works as it worked for us, it will for everyone
CORRECTION is LOVE
Needing or receiving a behavior or belief adjustment visits with everyone in their lifetimes. Tough love is no myth & well named. The giving of it will be hated, resented, resisted & judged. But a true giver of this "power" stands up to it knowing the benefit of doing so. The one needing/receiving, when they come to their senses or maturity, will see it too closing the cycle only to begin a new one
PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW
Do not assume when meeting someone that they are current, mature & learned in their personal development. Some don't even know you are supposed to develop. That's where role modeling comes in. It is a demonstration of a concept needed to person (s) who don't know they need it. BTW, manners are learned this way
WHO TEACHES WHO?
Children learn from their peers & so do adults as to what is acceptable or expected & that is by observation, mimicking, or being told. Adults are on the same system but with seriousness, conditions & qualifiers. Mistakes, do-overs & tweaking (?) are allowed. Trial & error, learning what to do & not do, humans are expected to know
RESULTS MAY BE HIDDEN
cup of kindness
When you care/help someone, we may not see the results of our part, but we are encouraged when we do see. NO ONE got to where they are without the help of another. When your cup is filled, then perhaps it's time to fill the cup of another?
