I have a different perspective than some on this. I teach professionally and I practice law. I do not care about my students or clients like I do friends or family. It is very different. Their lives are not my problem, my interest or my area to be concerned with - I think it would be over-reaching, arrogant and presumptious of me to get involved in their lives or even believe I was involved. I care they learn the material or that I do a good job as their attorney, but their bad choices or good choices are not mine to be concerned about. I generally do not want harm to befall them and generally am happy for them if I hear something good occured. But I don't care about them as litle individual snowflakes out there. I don't want to be invited to their weddings, see pictures of the children or hear about their vacations. I rarely remember their names or recognize them in grocery stores. It does not bother me that I do not. We do not have the sort of relationship that would cause that to be necessary or useful. PRofessional is not bad in my opinion, but the caring of a professional is, I think, very different from caring of someone in a non-professional capacity.
