Caregiving requires the intention of love, caretaking requires the intention of fear. Not acting in anger when you are angry requires the intention of love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In many ways, anger is a misdirected plea for love.
Caregivers attract caregivers and live in a community of love. They are energized by their caring, fulfilled, and they love life. Caretakers attract caretakers and live in the company of resentful victims who see themselves as misused and are fatigued from constant giving with no return.
It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms: anger at the health-care system, at life, at your loved one for leaving. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss.
Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.
Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.
Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.
Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge.
Caregiving has no second agendas or hidden motives. The care is given from love for the joy of giving without expectation, no strings attached.
Caretaking is different from care giving. Care giving has no second agendas or hidden motives. The care is given from love for the joy of giving without expectation, no strings attached. It cannot be manipulated or discouraged because love cannot be manipulated or discouraged.
Anger begets more anger, and forgiveness and love lead to more forgiveness and love.
