The term nurturing in literature is employed in a rich variety of contexts that span both the literal and metaphorical. It is often used to evoke images of tender care and growth, as when a mother’s affection is portrayed nurturing her child [1, 2], or when the earth is depicted as a nurturing force that supports life [3]. At the same time, nurturing is invoked to describe a process of development that extends beyond the physical, such as fostering intellectual and moral growth in individuals or even a society [4, 5]. Intriguingly, the word can also take on a more ambivalent tone, suggesting not only the positive aspects of care but also the nurturing of hidden resentments or disloyalty [6, 7], thus underscoring its complex role as both a constructive and potentially subversive force in human relationships.
