Well, let's explore "caring." To care about something. What's that mean? Let's look up this dreadful word. : )
care - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
I think most people, when they really explore their caring, will find that it's mostly a way (and a cop-out excuse) to dump a lot of worry and unnecessary concern on other people. Your child has no need for you to "care" about them. What your child needs is your
attention.
How much of your attention goes towards worrying about your child?
How much of your attention goes towards worrying about your relationship?
How much of your attention goes towards worrying about your job?
How often do you worry about your job when you're in the presence of your child? How often do you worry about your child when you're at your job?
See where we're going with this?
Attention is nothing more than focusing consciousness. Consciousness is the
currency of the universe. Consciousness is love. You've heard the phrase "paying attention." When you pay attention - you are focusing love.
By precisely
not caring, we free up our attention. By freeing our attention, we then can choose where we want to focus.
When you're with you're child, pay attention to them.
When you're at your job, pay attention to it.
When you're with the person in your relationship, pay attention to them.
You can try this; Throw your hands in the air and say, "I don't care." And let all these burdens you've been carrying just fall away. And see how good you feel. See how much lighter you feel, and what a surge of energy you get.
With no burdens in your hands, your hands are open and free to hold your child.
With no burdens in your hands, your hands are open and free to caress your lover.
With no burdens in your hands, your hands are open and free to attend to your livelihood.
