I am surprised no one yet has posted the infuriatingly worthless expression of affectless sympathy:
thoughts and prayers
As a nonnative speaker, the first time I heard the expression was on Bojack Horseman and it confused the hell out of me.
Thing is if prayers did anything, life would be way better (utopia)
If prayers were always effective, life would be both better and far worse. You'd be surprised at the horrific things people pray for.
And some of the "good" things we pray for go against what we desperately need.
Very true. It'd be so bad
I agree most of the time, but when I have to sign a sympathy card at work for someone i barely know, what the hell am i supposed to say?
I can't change the work culture so i just say something generic like that most of the time lol
Btw I'm not even religious
Religious bs
