NEARNESS
Being there for others makes you someone special The time you give is bound to be special The love you bring, is gonna be special Your sympathy Helps you to be special, show your heart From the beginning to the very end Wear a smile on your face Always lend a hand tenderly Please be around Your actions will really be something Strong and down to earth will really mean something Honest and true, we need someone to keep The faith going on… Their every action will speak for them If they can make us feel alive There´s many to see through, there´s dreams to share Look at the good in people, they´ll like you Always be around If you try you can be As giving as you wanna be It´s up to you to learn Go start believing in yourself
“Humility, care and an accessible attention”
Nearness is being capable of treating others personally, with care and kindness, eschewing, as far as possible, distance, barriers and protocols which hinder it. It is also meant to minimize the feeling produced by physical distance. Taking an interest, smiling, actively listening, being polite, transparent, thankful, open and so forth can be some of the keys to having the others feel us near, however far we might be. Nearness has the added value of humility, with which human beings show simplicity and equality when uttering words, gestures of courtesy, affection and care, no matter the social constraints. It is true that sometimes it is extremely tough to get this value across as effectively as we could. Lack of time, moods, and other circumstances can condition us. Clearly, the key to maintain this attitude is to understand that most people enjoy warmth, just like we do. It is a marvellous reciprocity, which humanizes us and generates a more authentic communion among people.
