Caring is a lovely thing, yet when it's "too much", things get risky

Everyone wants to be cared about, right?

To Care

No matter what others think about the definition of the word care, I highly think that it's what we have been taught to do, as well as being a means of showing that we are one of them. To understand more, and to be able to talk about this issue in detail, we need to glance through one related word, which is empathy. In a broad sense, the word empathy means the ability to share another person's feelings, in other words, our ability to feel the same with the person we talk to. So, it wouldn't be wrong to claim that we need tohave feelings and be able to make use of them supposing others do the same. However, as we all well know, caring is more than a definition...

Just Why?

As often told and taught by others, we need to put ourselves into others' shoes -particularly when we are forced to face with a crisis-like situation, and what not- so that if we happen to be experiencing the same, they will be thinking like "Oh, I've been there, and s/he was so helpful that if it hadn't been for him, I still wouldn't be feeling myself."

However, as told before, it's what we have been either told or taught, so caring itself cannot be said to be a survival thing for us. That being said, we have seen the ones around us, maybe more than a thousand times, crying while saying "But, I was there when asked and helped however I could.", which is another thing to be mentioned.

So, coming straight to the point, we always feel like we must care, but it's not what it is. Why? Because we are forced to comply with what we have been told or taught by the society.

What Happens When/If We Don't?

Believe me, nothing... Nothing, in my opinion, is too hard for you to get done with. It's perfectly fine for you not to be seen around hanging with your friends all the time, no matter what. As humans, we often tend to think like there must be at least one to be cared by and of; however, once you teach yourself how to become free of your actions without caring about the thoughts of the others, your life will be so much easier to feel.

Also, on and off, you face with the situations where you feel the loneliest, and wonder *where the ones you care about are now; just remember that everyone dies and rests alone.
