cares
Shows genuine interest
Cares are worries or concerns that weigh on the mind: free from cares, the cares of the world.
To have cares is to carry burdens.
The word often appears in expressions about releasing worry: without a care, not a care in the world.
As a verb form, cares indicates concern or interest: She cares deeply about the environment, Who cares?
