What’s the Difference Between Love and Care?

Many people misinterpret between these two words (Love and Care) and sometimes it causes serious problems. I admit that this is somewhat very confusing and it is very hard to explain, but I will try to describe things in a way that you will understand.

Usually, people perceive that LOVE and CARE will always go together. Thinking that when you love someone you are expected to take good care of them for the rest of your life. Taking care of them in such a way they feel like a princess or a queen. Yes, you are showing them how much you love them, but you did not realize what will they do when you are no longer on their side. Though it does not mean that if do this way you have the wrong way. You just want to feel them your love. The only problem with this is you are not letting them learn to stand up on their own and letting them depend on you. If you will think ahead, it will be more difficult for them when you are gone.

You can still love a person but not showing them you have care. Well, this is kind a hard for you if you think that love and care will always go together. For me loving someone is not giving all they want, but rather letting them stand up on their own feet. I know that she might feel or think that I left her, but what she never know is that I chose to walk behind her so that I could catch her every time she fall. I want her to experience even the worst case scenario that might happen for her to learn and stand up on her own feet. In this case, I will be more confident that she can stand up all by herself when I am no longer on her back.

But of course, do not spend all of your time with this not showing them how much you love them. They might get too far from you and regret everything in the end. You should have a specific time to let them know and show them your love. You will just know it when the right time comes.

LOVE always be bundled with CARE, but you cannot bundle CARE with LOVE. Sounds confusing right? It means that when you love someone, you should take good care of him/her. It is really up to you in what way you will show your love. But you can never bundle care with love because care is a responsibility. You can take care of a person without loving them because it is your responsibility (duty) to take good care of them. In other way, when you love someone it is your responsibility to take care of them because you want them to grow up successful.

Some people are naturally caring and many did misinterpret it. This can also cause problems in a relationship when you are not used to it. I know you already have a good idea about this, so I am leaving this to the next topic to be discussed soon.
