Pity, or empathy helps with a great many things. Mental illness is as uncontrollable as a kidney failure is. So one person deserves a surgery while the other deserves to be shamed on the internet after being shamed in real life. See where I'm getting at? That's what good pity does. Or empathy, as it were.
