“(…) Care is not just a kind of maintenance technique. Certainly, there is an important technical dimension to care, but it isn’t done humanly without the listening, the recognizing of the other, without empathy, solicitude, participation or delicacy. In the beginning of care is the activation of our responsibility for the other. As in its opposite is indifference, abandonment or discard.
(…) Care is the great humanizing experience, the place in the world where we learn the most, the great space of authentic wisdom. ”
