I have had a pretty rough few weeks. Nothing major but it was disruptive, aggravating, disappointing, stressful, and thoroughly not fun. I am very in touch with my sense of empathy, as anyone who spends five minutes with me can attest. So while my friends and loved ones listened to me vent and offered their sympathy, I did keep in mind that there are others out there who have things a lot worse than me.
Why is it then, that when told of my saga one such acquaintance decided to basically tell me that it could have been worse? I mean my house didn't burn down with my dog in it like a friend of his. All I wanted was a bit of acknowledgement that my week was tough instead I got a diatribe on how much worse it could have been. Gee, thanks. I feel so much better already.
