Your Choice to Care
by Michael Feeley
You walk past litter. You can keep walking, or you can pick it up. A plant droops—water it or ignore it. Small moments, your choice.
These aren’t obligations. They’re invitations.
Caring is a superpower because it engages both your heart and your mind. You feel something matters, and you think through what to do about it. Then you act. Feeling, thinking, doing—all three.
The real test comes with people. You can care or be cold. That binary is stark because it’s true.
When you choose to care about someone, you’re using your full capacity—emotions and logic working together. You notice when someone struggles. You think about what might help. You reach out, you listen, you show up.
Every caring act sends ripples. The person who feels cared for carries that forward. The person who witnesses caring learns from it. You create goodwill that generates good effects simply because you can.
Here’s what they don’t tell you: caring changes you more than anyone else. You become more alive, more connected, more human. Each act of caring expands your capacity to care again. You don’t deplete—you fill up.
The opposite of caring isn’t hatred—it’s indifference. Cold inaction.
Your superpower activates when you consciously choose warmth over coldness, attention over indifference, action over passivity.
Start small. Pick up that litter. Water that plant. Then go deeper. Care about the people around you.
It’s always your choice
