Is caring for a person conditional?
Sometimes I wonder about the relationship of a couple after they have broken up. Do they still care for each other? Do they even still communicate?
I really think it's ironical when 2 people who love each other so much can become like strangers after going through a ritual called a "break up". Don't you think so? It just seem so darn right fake (referring to their love)! Are we like robots where we can just switch of our "care" button just like that? No right?
"But he/she will most likely have found another person to be with already. Who am I in his/her life to care?"
If you're thinking it as a worrying statement, good for you, because you're still a human with actual
feelings. If otherwise, you didn't love him/her in the first place, simple as that.
And the statement is true otherwise.
"You're nobody in my life now, why should I care for someone like you?"
And this, my friends is what I call, a selfish person. No other word for that, I can assure you.
So now, this care has become conditional. In order for "me" to care for you, you've got to be somebody important to me, like my partner. Even as a friend after a relationship, "I" may or may not care for you.
Is this how the world's like? Full of uncaring people who need to have a valid reason to care? Is it even that hard to think of a person and wonder how he/she is doing?
Even sometimes friends you make go through this same conditional caring system. Can you think of a best/good friend you once had, and how you lost him/her? It's very sad isn't it? And sometimes what's the point of reaching out when the other party is not receptive at all?
If you are a person who has a lot of friends, do you care for all of them? Or do you just treat them as people whom you hang out with when you're bored?
For me, I'd rather be that unpopular nerdy kid who has a few friends because that way I know I can show them as much care as I can. But what about the other way round? I may not be one of their few friends, just one of their many uncared for friends, I wouldn't know. But at least I know I doing my part as being a caring human with real feelings.
Is it really that easy to forget a friend/lover? It might be hard, but is it really possible to not even give a shit about him/her after some time?
Life is ironical as such.
Then why care in the first place?
