Care-based humanism
Quiet stability
Craft and custom
Moral reliability and responsibility for close others are felt as constant and real. Care is concrete and attentive to practical needs - directed at the close circle, not people in the abstract. What already works deserves protection - disruption and radical change carry real costs. Confrontation costs something real, consensus is a good.
