Word of the Day
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Empathize (intransitive verb) – To feel empathy (empathy is understanding intimately someone or something’s motives or feelings or thoughts, etc.; not to be confused with sympathy – this should be a Grammar Guide, eh?) (from Greek empatheia, passion)

Word in a Sentence: I empathize with Abigail Farrier from Choices Meant for Gods because I, too, have felt the deep yearning for something I cannot have.

Your turn! Who do you empathize with? Now, remember – empathy is deep and emotional, not mere sympathy. And you can see the blog of Abigail Farrier at http://AbigailLovesNigel.blogspot.com. (It is very pink.)

“Some days, you just want the dragon to win.”

After years of living with a lush and a philandering one at that, I can empathize completely with your extreme desire to get this divorce over and done with!
