<<Caring is merely a word- a human word- to denote a series of behaviors.>> There is
something within you that motivates these behaviors and that thing is labeled by the
human word "Caring." Although you can observe the behaviors ou can not prove that
they represent caring and often times we find out they do represent something else,
even a mask for betrayal in some instances. Can you prove that caring is made of
genetic or other material? No, but there is strong evidence that it exists. There is not strong evidence that "it" exists- "it" (caring) is just a word that covers a lot of behaviors. You have to go behavior by behavior and decide 1. if the behavior exists and 2.does it represent what you want to call caring- and even if you've done that, what does it matter? When you've merely established the meaning of a word? You haven't established the intrinsic cause or source for the behavior, that gives you the meaning of your word.
backwards; the behaviors give evidence to the the existence of the "caring" completely disagree, the behaviors require a label, which we make up- i.e. caring- it's a simple function of naming, not of source nature that
exists in the human. The additional evidence is the "self evident" awareness that we
each have.What self-evident awareness? How do you KNOW we each have it? I've certainly seen no evidence that everyone is aware, or "self evidently aware" Taking measurements or observations on behaviors or material substance
has little and possibly nothing to do with it. Yet, to many of us the proof is absolutely
convincing. What proof? And FOR what? This post is a mish mash.
