Romans 12:15
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Reflection
Imagine your wife gets home from work, throws her keys on the table, lets out an endless sigh, and tells you: 'I had the worst day of my life, my boss humiliated me in front of everyone.'
What's your first reaction? If you are like most of us, you immediately put on your superhero cape and activate the 'Fixer Syndrome'. You start giving her a logical five-step list to talk to Human Resources or suggest she update her resume that very night.
You think you are brilliantly helping her, but suddenly she looks at you with frustration, crosses her arms, and says you 'just don't understand her'. What happened here? Simple: she wanted emotional connection, and you gave her a masterclass in logistics.
