Fixing feelings; Response by Darren
Dear Mom,
I would never do anything to Laura’s car! She’d kill me! But, yes, when you can’t do anything and it isn’t your fault, you can just be empathetic or sympathetic. If it isn’t your fault but you could do something, you can just be sympathetic, but it would be really nice to help out. If it is your fault, but you can’t do anything, you need to be really nice and helpful to that person. If it’s your fault and there is something you can do, do it!
