The theme of "care" is the one that matters most to us. Not the cure intended as "therapy", nor as "survival support", citing the studies of Luigina Mortari, but that care "that cultivates the being to make it flourish. [that] It is not an answer to the urge to survive, to feel bound by the need to persist, but it responds to the desire for transcendence, to the need for horizons of meaning in which to actualize one's being as being able to be " [1].

 

It is the care that each one turns to himself, dedicating time and space, listening and letting everything possible be done in its best forms. Not the big companies, but that enterprise which is one's life, net of the possibilities of the moment.

 

Even stronger right now we believe it is “here” that we must return, attention to detail, of the little one, of what it is our power and our responsibility to do best, for us but not only.

 

Care is relationship, For definition: relationship with me, relationship with the other, relationship with the whole. We are interdependent, so if we take care of ourselves the right way, with respect, with listening and dedication, we take care of everything.

 

The cure is a doing, is embodied in actions, not in good intentions or in nice words.
Care is the body, is a do together with.

 

So let's not make subsistence enough, and we don't just think about therapy, although both are fundamental: in between there is our possibility of "not being satisfied with an idea of ​​good if there is an idea of ​​better available", always to use Mortari's words.

 

And it is our responsibility to strive for that best.
