Some curling games are soon forgotten…others are hard to forget. This game happened years ago. John Morton threw an 8 ender. That means that my team had a terrible game. John Morton’s eight ender made me feel bad…embarrassing…humiliating.
“We got an 8 ender!!!“ He began to yell. But he looked over at me. I was feeling lower than a snake in a rut. John cut off his jubilation…threw his arm around my shoulder and said:
“Come on Al, I’ll buy you a beer.”
That’s empathy in action.
