Now that would be a first. I need no sympathy. I don't even understand the concept.
Empathy and sympathy. I got a story for ya there.
Sympathy:
Two guys are standing on a river bank. One jumps in but can't swim. The other feels sympathy for him so he jumps in the river with him to save his friend. They both end up drowning.
Empathy:
Two guys are standing on a river bank. One jumps in but can't swim. The other understands his dilemma but in no way wants to end up in danger with him. So he casts a rope out. His friend then can use the tools provided to save himself.
I have sympathy for your CAD.
I have empathy for your delusions.
