Hello David … this is Fred … first time call.

Thank you for recently choosing to follow me! I really appreciate that.

After reading this story of yours and checking through your others I decided to ‘follow’ YOU.

I like your 'About' article too ... you are clearly a man with a balanced yet p[ositive outlook to life and helping others to achieve the same.

The final sentence of your Empathy & Sympathy article is so accurate:

"Empathy takes love ... sympathy, not so much. And apathy is love's absence."

To know that distinction is to know, to really know.

Glad to meet you here on Medium David.

If you haven’t yet seen my ‘All you need to know about Fred’ article (pinned a-top my home page), I invite you to check it out. It has links to everything you need to know about me and my stories, including a quick index. Hope you like it.

I look forward to reading more of your stories on Medium.
