Dear all,
Would appreciate if you could help answer this simple question,
How do you show love and concern to your loved ones (family, spouses, frens etc) ? (You can also draw from cases in which you have been showered with love n concern). Haha, sounds like an essay question. Anyway, yes, pls. help, it's part of my reflections :)

oh no...hm...be by the person's side? would it be a bit redundant and perhaps a little suffocating?
It actually depends on the person. Personally, I wish I can be left alone when I am sick, so having somebody at my side will make me feel bad.
Well, I don't think redundant is the right word to use. It doesn't do justice to people who care about you and are thinking of ways to make you feel better. But sometimes there is nothing they can do and so they just stay by your side to give you support. To say that they are redundant is a little bit harsh, isn't it? =)
Oh, I was looking at redundancy from a different perspective...I'm not saying that people who stay beside me are redundant but rather I'm afraid that I'm redundant to those I chose to stay beside...sounds a bit confusing but you get my point. Basically, I was afraid that I would be more of a hindrance rather than a help in such cases.
For me, I pray for them. Love and Concern need not be shown physically, because there are something that can't be conveyed through action, it's more of the thoughts.
Is what crystalmoon said true?
We should try to be nice to people who are beside us supporting us, but we have a tendency to take things for granted. We keep asking for more and we become unhappy when what we get is not what we expect.
What you can do, ice_kachang, is when somewhere is the future this person needs help and support, you can render yours. I think that is the least we can do.
Hmm...I think darkness is more of the spiritual kind, who is easily misunderstood as the 'eye-power' or 'can talk but cannot do' type of person.
Whatever it is, just show your appreciation!
ah yes, i'm always the misunderstood one...

my friend's work. pls take a look.
thanks, frens for all your contributions. Well, I am not experiencing exactly what crystalmoon has mentioned but i guess I do have a general sense that most people (at least those around me) either face problems expressing love and concern or related to this, face problems in discerning whether someone is concerned about them.
I thought similarly as Darkness but I'm starting to think whether I will hurt people I love if they do not know that I care for them since i do not show it obviously through my actions. Sigh, nvm...
hey sin, u're hijacking this post! anyway, I have taken a look at it :)
wait wait.. i know i'm slow but i wanna share my thoughts too.. hee.. how do i show love? simple: i spend time with them; i buy things for them, and i do things for them. these are my love language expressed to others.
once my godfather told me that there are onli three things a person can give to another: time, money and energy. and sadly i m currently not doing any of these at the moment. mb onli to my family, cos i spent the most time with them now.. hee.. i tink i hv turned into a 'stay at home' gal.. ;)
