Caring was once the energy, for want of a better term, that drove human kind to become a once cohesive society from being being small, isolated clans/families/groups.
Sadly, imo, that has gone by the way-side somewhat these days and has been replaced by the Narcissistic, Me, Me Generations much to detriment of all human kind.
I tend to think that IF we could revive/revitalize what we humans had some hundred + or more centuries ago combined with the knowledge, technologies, etc, we have now what a truly wonderful world this would be.

If care was the organizing principle of our society our society would end.

@DaisyMaeNot we've just seen that at least half the population doesn't care enough to wear a mask to protect other citizens... And this is only short-term. If they had to do it regularly, they won't
@DaisyMaeNot well it's not 25% where I live and all I can do is hope that you're right and that they'll get to prove it someday 
@DaisyMaeNot well in Arizona they listen to their supreme leader
Good food for thought.
I think, given the tendency for narcissistic power-hungry sociopaths to manipulate their way to positions of power over others, I think care must be coupled with vigilance against abusive and/ or deceptive tactics of some. Be caring. Be hopeful. Be grateful. But exercise trust cautiously.
