Sumario:Caring is one of the bases of Mother Nature. Most species of our planet, be they vegetal or animal, has in some degreedeveloped the apparently innate characteristic of caring, which seems to be linked to the very maintenance and sustaining of life. Whilein vegetables the ability of caring is linked to self-care, in the sense of preserving life, it is developed and improved and reaches its apexin the human species. When observing the process of development and evolution of life, we see that the ability of caring achieved anapparent competitive advantage in the evolution process. It seems it made such a symbiosis with Life itself that it penetrated its veryessence. Thus, now Life and Caring are so intertwined that became synonymous in the evolutionary process. Caring seems thereforeto be a refinement and one of the purposes of life, but could only be understood in this sense if we consider it from a perspective oftranscendence or a design of its Creator.
