Humanity

Just watched a film, 'Lars and the Real Girl', that leaves me pondering humanity and it's quaintness.

Every man and woman, is someones son or daughter, every single one off us all, all of us that are biological and exist, relate in some way to someone else (genealogy).

Relation, is the way in which we lead our lives, relating to people or reasons, situations, feelings and such, and thus added to genealogy, we are able to see that relativity is the key to life, maybe that is the crux of Einsteins 'Theory of Relativity', I shall have to read it.

Relativity is how we make judgement, to decide if someone is lying we relate to fact and possibilities, if we buy something we relate price to quality, functionality, design etc.., if we watch something on the TV, when we look at the guide we relate to our mood when choosing what to watch; to someone who has an opinion that is different to ours we relate to how we feel to the matter in relation to our own standards or experiences, this list is endless because we relate matter to subject, subject to topic etc..

When I watched the film, it left me humbled. Humbled by the thoughts of my loved ones and what I would do for them, and not just for my immediate relationships, but for those external relationships that I have.

How many times have your feelings (within yourself) changed over someone not giving you enough time (in your eyes) to decide on something or do something ?

When we care for someone, we need to take a holistic approach to care so that we can relate to that individual and their preferences and needs, and their understanding and acceptance, and more to that, their friends and family's preferences, needs, understanding and acceptance also.

Understanding someones diversity and accepting there equality has got to be the founding pillar of the holistic approach, ensuring that discrimination and victimization does not occur.

If you are going to do or not do something for someone, then think to yourself how it is going to affect that person in the way in which they feel, or the way in which they think, how it may or may not affect something that may or may not affect that person, and how it all makes you feel.

All care is collaborative, not just between a carer and an individual but to other carers, and professionals too, care is a team effort, no matter how you look at it, so being a team player is massively important, and frankly if you are to be a carer then it's something you should never stop working on, abuse occurs far too easily and   quickly.
