How to truly care. About life.

Maybe there is a right way and a wrong way. To care. My friend Julie often practices the wrong way. She allows herself to be consumed. By caring. Without respite. She makes a task of caring. She beats herself up. Emotionally. Goes on guilt trips. Drinks heavily. In a sense, commits a slow and  methodical suicide. That really isn't true caring. One must learn to savor the life force. In order to truly care. About life. --Jim Broede
