Yes I care because it just is who I am.....If someone sees it as false caring or whatever....Well that's fine because then the person who sees it that way doesn't really know me. I think also until something happens to someone you sometimes don't even know how much you care about that person.....Dan you were a perfect example of that. When you got sick and I thought this planet may have to live without you....I was beyond sad...and I prayed like a crazy woman. So yes I care, and when you know the person better then others it hits something inside that you may not even know. And that is a beautiful thing. My family always teases and says c'mon mom these people are not even real..well when something happens and they need prayer for a loss or whatever....THEY ARE VERY VERY REAL. great thread dan. Im not calling it false, if thats the way you feel about things then fair enough, we are all different people. However, i wasnt even as worried as that about me! At one point i was quite concerned and didnt know what was going to happen, but i never really had any serious thoughts that i might die. I guess out of a large group of people there will be the whole range of different levels of caring. Some people maybe dont care enough, some people maybe care too much. If you are honest about the way you feel, then that is probably the main thing. |

If I take the time to post within a thread then it must have touched me in some sort of way.
Anytime it comes to lossing a child then my heart does go out to them due to that is one of the hardest things in life to deal with. Therefore I will take the time to post in the threads of those that it concerns someone I have actually talked to on the site or if it deals with a child. As far as do I care yes and my heart does go out to those that are dealing with loosing a loved one. Or those that are dealing with a sickness. Can I do anything about it? Not really the only thing I can do is let them know someone afar is thinking about them. At times even that will give someone a little bit of comfort. Just to know others do care. |

sympathy create weakness and self pity with shallow words of vain flattery, but empathy enduce strength and character with words that teach to embrace struggle??? I have to be honest and say that your posts are going way over my head! But it is 4am here and thats the excuse im sticking with! They aren't going over your head, Dan. They just don't EVER make any sense but you are supposed to think they do. When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea |

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea Close... you gotta make it with big words.. emotional words. With clarity comes cloudy thoughts, tangents..... they move and ebb flowing with torrents of beautiful clouds and mist your veiled ideals with clear frosted etchings of glass... |

As far as do I care yes and my heart does go out to those that are dealing with loosing a loved one. Or those that are dealing with a sickness. Thats the same for me really. But sometimes a thread could be about a relative or friend of someone you barely know, who has been in a car accident ,and say, broke his leg. They only broke their leg, they will be alright. Prayers wont mend it, and showing sympathy to the mingler posting about it seems pretty pointless, their legs are fine. |

I do have an empathy for those going through loss and emotional stress. Yes, we have all gone through it and sometimes just need someone to listen. There is nothing wrong with listening and empathizing with another's plight.

I do feel a sense of concern even if I have never met these people because many of them I have read their posts and listened to them express themselves. After a while you start to feel as if you know some of them just based on that alone. Its difficult for me to hear about human suffering and not feel some degree of empathy. I guess that is just a knee jerk reaction to their pain or loss or whatever the case may be. The prayer threads get on my nerves sometimes as I am non-religious but I will still offer them my good thoughts. Its all you can do really. I am a firm believer in inner strength and calling from within first and foremost when faced with adversity.

i care. the world doesnt need any more apathy. Maybe not, but if you have feelings about, say, a cousin of a mingler you have never spoken to who was in a car wreck and broke his legs, shouldnt you break down into tears when you see a million starving homeless Africans? Nah, but what's a few words of comfort? Did u know anyone I. The 911 attacks? Or In the columbine massacre? I didn't but I still cared when I heard about them. And I am aware of the plight In all reaches of the world. It sucks. I care regardless of how powerless I am. |

When you see a thread and someone is ill, dying, dead or whatever..do you REALLY give a damn? I ask because i see a lot of falseness, and people PRETENDING to care. Most often, if i am honest, i couldnt give a damn. For me it all depends on how well i know somebody. A friends son passed away very recently and i DO care, i have know her a long time and met her in person twice. But when its someone i dont really know, which is the case for the majority of people here, or its this someone's friend, relative or budgie, it doesnt really provoke any interest or emotion in me. So what?! There is sh1t happening to people all over the world that i dont know, its not my problem and there is nothing i can do about it anyway...oh look a peanut.. So...who really does care for peoples problems when they dont know the people? 5 children were killed by Australian defence force gunfire, they got caught in the crossfire.... I care.... someone lost their babies...in a stupid war that has nothing to do with them... I do care...for new orleans peoples still trying to get their lives together, September 11, was the most catastrophic and dramatic loss of life I have ever winessed... I care for the tsunami victims, the people whose lives changed in the bali bombings... The loss and sadness you feel for your mate who lost his child, is no different for any other parent, brother, sister, friend... Loss is loss... and it devastates me to know, RIGHT now, I can do nothing practical to assist my aussie brothers and sisters who are either caught in floods, or homeless from the bushfires..... we are flooded in here, an island for a time, it's no biggy here, and happens every year... the floods up North are the worst ever, in recorded european settler history... the fires the worst ever. You interpret by reading another's posts insincerity... that's your filters dan... only you got that from reading anothers words... that's a judgement call, YOU made. |

I havent said i dont care about anything or anyone. Some things are trivial compared though. Sometimes things capture my heart more than others, like the Tsunami did, i donated quite a reasonable amount of money to that cause. I have been busy of late and have missed most of the news and happenings in Australia, and i dont feel so affected. As tragic as it all is. |

That actually does make sense in a way. Its an interesting point about the ability to demonstrate empathy if I am interpreting correctly.
