Careing
In class we have just completed Milton Mayeroff book On Caring. Mayeroff discusses many of life's philosophies, and the meaning and importance of caring as well as being cared for. He deals with peoples basic morals towards caring and being cared for in many situations. Caring is "feeling and exhibiting concern and empathy for others." (Encarta "99"). I feel that caring is being able to be honest, trust, and also being able to stay strong with courage. All these aspects play a large role in a person growth over years with their family, and friends as well as associates. Caring is often taken for granted, but Mayeroff clearly defines the true meaning of caring in his book. He really makes you recognize who in your life has played a serious role, and how you know if you are truly caring for another. In Mayeroffs book he writes on over thirty topics of caring. I have chosen five topics that I feel are the most significant in his book On Caring. First I believe that honesty is the core essential in caring for another. "Honesty is present in caring as something positive, and not as a matter of not doing something, not telling lies of not deliberately deceiving others." Mayeroff (p.g. 25). The only way to be able to buil
Courage plays a large role in caring; being able to be by your friend threw trying circumstances. is if you have had the courage to live your life. You must not sell yourself short at the cost of other people, you have to give you self the same chance to grow and be your own person. In Elizabeth Kubler-Ross address to Union College she explains that she works with dying patients. Courage is being able to go into the unknown and not turn back. Hope in turn gives a significant presents to the future for someone. The last aspect of caring which I feel ties all other aspects together is caring for myself. But what I feel so amazing is how so many people can pull together in a time of crises. Also in Kubler-Ross's address you can see another perfect example of how caring for your self is vital in being able to enjoy your life to its fullest. They wish they did not stress themselves over such petty problems as well as wasted so much time with them. The second aspect of caring I want to deal with is trust, and how I feel it relates to one of the five major aspect of caring. I feel that this is necessary in a relationship; if you are not honest you will not only cheat yourself but others as well.
