On caring more

When I was in university I took a class on Family Dynamics. One day the professor was talking about this idea of the principle of least interest. She said, in a relationship, the person who is least interested holds all the power. 

In that moment fear spoke and I instinctively thought I will always be the one to care less. 

You don’t get hurt if you care less (maybe). 

I took this principle into many relationships and no surprise they didn’t work out. 

As an aside, I have a faith background, and this thought makes me think of the Creator. God is always the one who cares more. God gets vulnerable with us and gives us the power in the relationship. That is a wild thought.

It is vulnerable to love more. It is brave. And I think it might be worth it. 

What would it look like if we all tried to be in the place of most interest where we all loved a little more. Think about it, what if we all were outdoing each other with loving more. Not in a striving way, but a serving way. I think it would create something truly beautiful.

The bravest people I know are the ones who care more. They are the ones who remain in love.

Be brave. Love more. 

And may it create something spectacular and beautiful.
