Inhabiting the World with Care
In this episode of “Inhabiting the World”, I have chosen to focus on care, such an important element of human existence, when care is intended as the process of protecting someone or something and providing what that person or thing needs, as the Cambridge Dictionary states.
When used as verbs, to care for means to attend to the needs of, especially in the manner of a nurse or personal aide, and to like and appreciate as well, whereas to take care of means to look after, to provide care and to deal with, to handle.
In informal contexts, take care means be careful.
Its etymology, quite thought provoking, stems from the Indo-European root which signifies a paying attention, a looking at tinted with the idea of worry and preoccupation. But paying attention does not bring about the dimension of time. One can pay attention to a flower, but to take care of it one needs to be there, day after day.
