Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The world needs more "empathy" not "sympathy". A sympathetic listener does not really understand. An empathetic listener feels your pain and experiences your anguish. There is only one truly empathetic listener in the world, and that is God. He experiences what you experience, and knows what you know. He alone listens without judgement. His silent guidance is more valuable than the books of advice provided by sympathetic listeners. That is the greatest gift one can ask for... not an end to problems, but the guidance of one who really understands. Thank God for Guru. Jai Guru Datta. Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.
