"If caring is to be retained as the "essence" of nursing, and if research in this area is to advance, then the various perspectives of caring must be clarified, the strengths and the limitations of these conceptualizations examined, and the applicability of caring as a concept and theory to the practice of nursing identified." 1
“Individuals are unique and irreducible, interconnected with others and the environment in caring relationships. The nature of being human is to be caring. Humans choose values that give meaning to living and enhance well-being. Well-being is creating and living the meaning of life. From this lens, the individual defines what wholeness means to him or her, what is necessary for well-being, and what matters most at that time for the one nursed.”2
The Dalai Lama, July 2015
“We are all the same as human beings, we all want to lead a happy life. … ‘I need to be happy, I need to have warm feelings towards others. This builds self-confidence, honesty, transparency, which leads to trust. And trust is the basis of friendship. We are social animals and we need friends. This is a source of happiness I wish to share”.3
