Dear Reader, Of Most Importance in Care-Giving is Understanding and Patience. A ) Understanding Comes not necessarily from having lived through the same experiences, in any given Life-Time, but on the Insight to Know; to Perceive, to Intuit, to Feel what the Other is Going, Through. B ) And Patience is, well, Self-Evident. My "A" is Exceptional, as I have "Worked" to Fine-Tune it, for YEARS, and continue to do so. And "B" is absolutely necessary for A. I'm also very Concise in my Verbalizations, as You can See. But if the Moment Calls for It; Active Listening is a Forte. Kindness is also of paramount importance in giving care. Not "Compassion" as People will Think - If You look at the Definition of "Compassion", it is PITY. We do not want, nay, need Pity. We Want more Kindness in this World. Kindness and Compassion are NOT one and the same. And, Well, the Kindness in any individual is best gauged by the observer. Sina :)
