CULTURE: from the Latin cultus, which means care.
The word culture itself comes from the root cultivate — as in to grow with intention
To cultivate is to humanise the wilderness and promote the life-enhancing aspects of the environment. You could say that it marks the very origins of culture. The word ‘culture’, after all, is derived from working the soil and the growing and tending of plants.

Meaning, it seems to me, is the product of caring, not vice versa. What we care about we value.
