Care's Perspective

Care is often confused with love, yet while both involve emotional investment, care tends to focus more on the actions and responsibilities toward others’ well-being, while love encompasses deeper emotional bonds and attachment. Care can exist without romantic feelings, whereas love typically implies a stronger emotional connection.

Devotion's Perspective

Devotion is often confused with infatuation, as both involve strong feelings toward a person or cause. However, infatuation is usually characterized by intense, short-lived emotions often based on idealization, while devotion is marked by a deeper, sustained commitment that grows over time and withstands challenges.
