Haunting Question yella: I have a question for all of you. Do people (other than parents of children) REALLY care about other people? I'm talking about the unconditional caring. The kind of caring when you know that this is the one person you can go to who won't turn you away?
Does that kind of caring really exist no matter how hard things get? Or is the caring based primarily on how well things go? I've been trying to figure this out, and can't. As far as I've been able to tell, it all goes well until things get rough, then things change.
I know of only one case where the caring goes above and beyond, and I wish someday I'd have that, but just how common is this?
Of course, me asking this here is probably redundant considering that we're all here for the same reason, but I'd like to see whether or not I'm alone in this thinking.
Re: Haunting Question sheydp: I care that way... I care that way about everyone I have ever loved. There comes a point where I have had enough and the relationship "changes" - I don't want daily or continual contact with the person because I love myself enough to not want that pain. However, if anyone I ever loved REALLY needed me, I would be there. I thought I could turn away completely, but I have had it proven to me again and again that I can never stop loving. I WILL be there for anyone who needs me, if at all possible. Sigh. Hope that isn't proven again, but there it is.

Re: Haunting Question chiefkyle: I think people who don't have anyone (kids or spouses), are MORE carring.
If you have a spouse or kids, you already have enough problems. Not to say you don't care, but non-committed people care more usually.
My opinion only!!
Re: Haunting Question brokenbaby: I care unconditionally about anyone I love. That is part of my problem. I live with my heart. Through my heart. And I have to tell ya, it hurts like hell more often than not because there are not a lot of people out there like that. More and more we live in a me me me world...

Re: Haunting Question Seeker: There are more marriages like this than you may know. I have found in my humble search for "real or true " love that it does exist. I have found that the people who love in the manner in which we are called by God have happy, healthy, long marriages.
Look into Ephesians chapter 5 and 1 Corintians 13 for examples of how to love as you have asked.
