Care and Farmland

Care. The word has such positive meaning. She or He cares about me, they care a lot about me, the word truly shows affection. Yet just because someone cares about you doesn't mean they're in love with you, or love you period, they just care about your well being. Some people have a more caring outlook, and some think about the next step to revamp their house or which color of snuggie they're going to buy for their dog. Is there a such thing as caring to much? or to less? You don't often hear people tell you you're caring to much, but that doesn't mean it's never heard. Some people have a hard time letting go of things and really become emotionally attatched. Like myself for example. I become emotionally attatched to people or objects and have a hard time of letting go. There are just people that their main goal in life is to care about other people. The persons are the people that make our best friends and become the most influential people in our lives. So what happens to the people that don't care? They become the people who succeed in business. They're the lawyers, the CEO's, they are the wealthy upper class. I had the opportunity of interacting with a wealthy environment and a middle class environment. The attitudes of the population is completely polar opposites. When we see the movies with the old western town where everybody knows the sheriff and is on personal terms with everyone, this isn't fiction, it's true.This last week I got to visit a farmland out in Branchville, Wisconsin, and for those who have never visited, the total population is 834. The city is small, yet when we talked to the farm owner, they knew when their neighbors cousin's wedding was! It's incredible how close people are when they don't have the media we have! It truly is a dream to be able to live with people who have so much love in their hearts, and truly just want what is best for you. No catches, no benifits or returns that are needed, just pure care. As we run through our lives we never stop to smell the roses, never sit down and just talk to someone, and no, Instant Messaging on facebook doesn't count. It would truly change the dynamic of your relationship with the people around you. Try it, sit down and bring someone to lunch, let them know you care, and you will be surprised how great of a friendship will grow out of it.
