Reflection 1/1: Thougts while Driving into the Sunrise

Had an interesting discussion a couple days ago. Does caring for people mean you would want to know what they are up to every minute of the day. What they had for lunch, how many coffees they drank, what they did at work?

I guess it sure would make understanding a person that much easier; if you are able to spend that much time with another person. Under these circumstances, it cannot be hard to predict what they are thinking about...especially when you can already feel what the other person is thinking spending only a quarter of this time.

When the time is there, caring sounds simple. But with so much going on in our lives, and so many goals left to chase, where does this time come from? I do believe that being busy is just an excuse; but there is only 24 hours in a day...

Does caring for people mean you would want to know what they are up to every minute of the day...be it family, friends or lovers? This new perspective does seem to have some strong points. I had thought that seeing that they're happy, being there when it is needed, and willing to give up everything if the moment requires would be more important than knowing the details about a person's daily trivials...

...which makes me wonder, can I actually like a person, or do I only like the idea of the one. Perhaps I am incapable of love... not yet.
