Although we may not be sure who first said this, JOHN MAXWELL, a motivational speaker, has brought it into public focus more than anyone else I have heard. To show "empathy" is to share another person's joy, grief, or pain. Can you remember a time when your innermost being has yearned for something [recognition, appreciation], and someone has made an inappropriate comment? The first assignment in my "World Literature Class" was to read The Book of Job, where three sympathizers reminded Job of contemporary wisdom, but, obviously, did not "care" very much about his pain.
