JACK'S WINNING WORDS 10/17/06
“There’s nothing sweeter than to be sympathized with.” (Santayana) Basically, sympathy means to put your self in the other person’s place. Is there someone in the circle of your life to whom you can be sympathetic? ;-) Jack

HERE'S WHAT N. R. BURR SAYS: We often express sympathy for others in difficult circumstances, wanting to show our support, but truthfully, I don't believe we can genuinely feel that other person's depth of concern.

A QUOTE FROM HUGH ELLIOTT: All people want is someone to listen.

GOOD DEBT, BAD DEBT JON EXPLAINS: I think empathy is putting yourself in the other person's place, sympathy is sharing another's feelings.
