Caring is open-hearted, keeping us available to transmit love to a stranger through simple eye contact and without condition. This is not the opportunistic sizing-up of sexual cruising; instead, it’s the felt recognition of the divinity and humanity in another individual.

About This Quote

When we care for someone, we are open-hearted. We do not try to get something out of that person or use them for our own benefit. When you care about someone, you are willing to sacrifice your own wants and needs for theirs, without expecting anything in return. Caring is also about keeping yourself available to transmit love to a stranger through simple eye contact and without condition. If you do not feel comfortable caring for someone at a certain time, then it shows that you do not care about that person.
