First of all, we need to be sure that we know what these two values mean, as important as they are we need to know what they mean first. So, what does caring mean? According to google what this very important value mean is, it is basically showing concern, compassion for someone, or something. People practice caring all over the world, for example doctors, doctor care enough for their patient, because they are supposed to save their life, they practice caring everyday. Another job that practices caring is being a nanny, being a nanny is basically caring, they are almost the same thing. Caring is a value that can show many things and can mean many things, when you care you show that you do, you start doing a lot of things to make sure that that person or thing is okey, is good. For me caring is a very important thing because it helps people to prioritize everything.
Now patience is also a very important value that people tend to forget that it exists, people nowadays a very impatient, they always make everything a rush and that could be quite upsetting if I say so myself. But what patience really means according to google is an ability for people to be tolerant, and just being calm when hard situations come along. It is also an ability, there are people that when a bad thing happens they are just very impatient and just filled with anxiety, they cannot focus on what is really happening because they are so impatient.
Now I think the story is very comical, the title of the story is Self-Reliance, which basically means trust, but not in another person, trust in yourself, it means that you trust yourself so much that you can rely on yourself without being scared of the outcome because it is you an you know you.
So I think that both values are very much reflected but not in a good way, i think that the man, Ralph was an extremely impatient person, he showed through the story that he loves to not have patience and rush thing and do everything with a hurry, he didn’t like to wait for anything, he used an immense amount of metaphors throughout the story and he was very unsure with everything he said, all the time, zero patience. Now for caring I think it was also reflected but as patience was, it wasn’t in a very positive way, he always showed that he always cared about what people has to say about him, always very insecure about everything he did, always thinking what are people going to say if I do this and if I do that, always second guessing everything that came on his way, every thought, just everything.
And that is what I think about the way the story relates to the two values.
