I would turn that on its head. Empathising without knowing the facts is the road to disaster. Anyone can empathise if they feel like it. Empathy...
What would that be exactly? I live in Woodbridge in the summer months and get there off and on in the winter.
I think you are splitting hairs and elsewhere I make it clear that I am not expecting any of these distinctions to be cut and dried. I talk about...
