Pity is not a virtue;
It is one way god-botherers feel good about themselves.
Pity is selfish.
Pity reduces its object
To a state of lesserness, humiliation and suffocation;
And elevates its subject
To a plinth of disengaged "better-than..."
Another way could be,
Out of abundant empathy,
To share your compassion.
Do whatever it takes
To help another help him/herself.
Put the other in charge of his own rehabilitation.
Restore dignity.
Restore self-respect.
