Being 'Thoughtful' and Caring' . What is your views and ideas?

In my view any thing which is done to help others is thoughtful and helpful action. First time I hear that in an airport reading glasses for elderly to wear in order to help them read. It is great gesture or help. In our country, in public transport buses some seats are generally reserved for ladies and senior citizens. It is very toughtful act by government and sometime when no lady is in the bus gents do sit in those seats when bus is very rush. When any lady gets into bus immediately those seats are immediately vacated by gents.

Hi Dear Well Sure its really thought ful as well as caring. its really nice and feel good when u look such arrangement. it give importance to people I really like it Take care

I still like a man who will let me walk in front of him through a door for example walking into a restaurant. I also like the male to walk on the side closest to the street which has been a tradition for years. No longer does my husband open the car door or pull out a chair when I sit. After a period of time, that seems to vanish.

Hi Ireine, For me it's the small thoughtful gestures which I appreciate more than someone making a big fuss. My man does not drink coffee at his home, only outside the home, so when I arrive and find a new brik for making coffee along with my favourite coffee, I know that he's been thinking of how to make sure I'm comfortable in his home. I prefer that kind of thing to a lavish gift.

Hi Iriene :) Thoughtfulness still exists in many ways, and that knowledge always does my heart good. It gives so much and asks for nothing in return. In my country, people are usually eager to help however and whenever they can if someone has a need. Senior citizens, for instance, get discounts on many things. And a lot of people help their neighbors and relatives, or do volunteer work. It is those things and then the everyday courtesies that add to a sense of calm in a hectic world. Karen

For me thoughtful and caring in a sense means to think of someone politely and with lot of care. Suppose, when a young boy or girl is sitting next to you and he/ she is very worried, so if you ask him/her "may I help you" even though you don't know that person and you know very well that he/she is young and can do the work themselves. So this is that you are being very thoughtful. And when you are saying somebody is very caring. You say that when you know that person from a lot of time or you have spent a lot of time with that person. Otherwise simply you won't say anyone that he is so caring. Why will you say anyone if you don't know him/her. But when somebody is saying that you are thoughtful. Surely maybe you did something that made him think that you are thoughtful. And being thoughtful and caring is very good. Everybody does not have that feeling to help everyone out there. So, somebody who is very helpful and caring and thoughtful, is one of the luckiest person!

For me being caring is a universal feelings it should not be exclusively dedicated to one family but to the common good of its person. Then, thoughtful is our way to recognize our loving endearment with our loved ones and to the people around us by keeping them on our prayers and thanks them for their helps which makes them a good influence in one's life leading to success.

Hi Iriene, I am citing an incident from my life which you tell me whether it was thoughtful, caring or both? It was a heavy rainy day and I was returning from office to go home. I boarded the first available train and luckily got the best window seat. I needed it very badly as I was very tired and hungry too. It was a one hour journey and so I thanked my stars for the seat. Within ten minutes the train got over crowded. Suddenly in the crowd I noticed a heavily pregnant lady standing very uncomfortably. I immediately told the people standing near her to make way for her towards my seat and I offerd my best window seat to her. I asked her if there was anyone with her to which she said she was travelling alone. I felt pity for her and very angry at her people for allowing her to travel alone in this condition and in such weather. I forgot my tiredness and hunger and stood there wondering what to do. I accompanied her till her home which was more than two hours journey. Her parents were very happy to see her back safely. They thanked me profusely and offered me a cup of coffee to which I said no with thanks as I had another two hours journey left. Well soon I realised how lucky my family is.

Iriene, You are so lucky to have your date open the car door for you, pull the chair for you. When I was dating, I hardly get to enjoy all those. lol. Certain hotels that I went, they have this card that reminds us which level and where we park our car at. That to me is a thoughtful thing to do by the hotel. Until the day when our handphone comes with a camera. These days, what I do is just snap a picture of the parking bay number and will never forget where I park the car again.
