What does Caring and Giving Mean?

To me, the words "caring and giving" are not only the building blocks of the word and act of caregiving, but they represent the meaning of our lives.

We spend our highest and lowest moments with those we care most deeply about, and when we give back to them, we grow. In its simplest form, caring is transformational. A reassuring smile from a loved one when you're afraid, or a hand squeeze when you feel pain, can make you feel like you can endure anything.

Caring and giving equal kindness.  And in the slideshow we review again and again in our minds, all throughout our lives, it is kindness that reassures and calms us, because it represents the very core of our best selves.
