Of Caring

If you care about someone, you risk the power structure of that relationship becoming vertical. There is a chance that your 'caring' becomes some form of superiority over the other. The other party will potentially feel insulted. This especially happens when you care and complain. When people claim that they complain because they care, it is most likely because they lack the capacity to communicate clearly.

My challenge is: how do I express that I care, without complaining, to be taken seriously? When the forms of sufficient communication has been reduced, where do I begin?

For if I chose to unilaterally not care, then I am morally guilty. But if I do care, I am not able to express myself in a manner to be understood.
