The real 5Cs that people need:
Companions: The people who accompany you through your life. they're the real value in your life that truly needs to be treasured =)
and because they are the source of care, concern and comfort, companions are the first on the list =D (just like cash is the first of the 'wrong' 5Cs)
Care, Concern and Comfort: In life, people need others to provide them with the support that will push them to pull through life's troubles. The care and concern given by their loved ones constantly remind them that there are people who's always behind them and that they're not alone; they're always together to help each other weather all crises and overcome all obstacles.
When one's hit by a setback or faces emotional problems, he/she needs the consolation and comfort to recover emotionally and mentally.
Though wounds will heal with time, comfort sooths people and aid in the process of healing, and it's certainly wonderful to know there're people who will share your pain with you.
Compassion: Even with companions who'll provide you with all the care, concern and comfort, one needs to be compassionate - to emphatize with others who're facing difficulties and emotional problems in their lives, then to render assistance to them, to promote recovery and to help bring joy into their lives. It's not just about accepting help, it's about giving help as well.
and that's what makes a loving community in a society like ours.
if you don't know what the 'wrong' 5Cs are, they are:
Cash
Condominium
Country club membership
Car
Credit card
(pardon me if im wrong cos im not that sure of them myself)
