Watching this, it struck me that I never use the word "caring" as an adjective. I would never describe anyone as caring. Not that I think that people are uncaring-- I think it's the opposite, that "caring" has no value, because everyone is "caring," at least at certain points, about certain things. It'd be unfair to say that someone is more caring than another person. How would you know? Caring as a thing people do seems so internal, almost strictly interior, private.

What does that mean, to be more caring? That they care more about things than other people do? And what things? In general it seems to mean "other people"-- caring people care about other people. Seems like it'd be better to say "thoughtful/considerate" or "generous" or even "selfless." These descriptors seem more external--that is, they presume less about someone's internal life/motives. One can seem thoughtful or generous without necessarily actually caring. Which wouldn't necessarily make them less thoughtful or generous, but which would not make them caring.

At the same time it's probably better to say "caring" than what I do say about everyone, which is "seems nice."

i guess it wasn't necessary to post this video, which i'm not really that interested in. it's just what made me think about this.
