De nuevo gracias al Merriam-Webster. Creí que era bueno tenerla, pero se ve que las personas que carecen de empatía son sensiblemente más felices esperando que otras personas respondan a ciertas situaciones no según la situación propiamente dicha, sino según sus propios deseos.

Gracias al Merriam-Webster Online, y parafraseando a Baz Luhrmann (o mejor dicho Mary Schmich)… Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours... Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. (but the race is long and, in the end, only with yourself)
