My long work day got the best of me one late evening. I spent a good number of minutes griping to my lovely wife. I complained about my company, my boss, my coworkers, and even my lunch.
“What would you like me to do about all that?”
“I don't know. Sympathize? Empathize?”
“What difference would that make?”
