I nodded with genuine synthetic sympathy.

It was such an unexpected and genuine smile that if I only had a soul I'm sure I would have felt quite guilty.

Although I have sympathy for Ricky I cannot accept his move towards the on-field umpires as they made a move towards resuming play. He did not ask for the third umpire to be consulted but when he made that move and spoke to the officials I believe his involvement played a part in prompting the referral.

To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.

I find others, those who prey on the innocent and do not play by the rules, and I make them go away in small, carefully wrapped pieces.

Have you noticed how difficult it is just to get along in the world? If you're no good at all in your job, people treat you badly and eventually you will be unemployed. And if you're a little better than competent, everyone expects miracles from you, every single time. Like most of life, it's a no-win situation. And if you dare to mention it, no matter how creatively you phrase your complaints, you are shunned as a whiner.
