CCT...well, the two words can get misused so easily...

Annicita...you're very welcome...
I like this one, too, as it reminds of the difference between pity and compassion....

Jimmy..yes, I would certainly take compassion over pity....
I read somewhere once that the word "compassion" actually means to put oneself in the shoes of the other person...that's action,whereas pity is more emotion...

Yeah, I would think that people would appreciate the compassion more than the pity. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time . . .

Yes, there's a big difference between the two,
and it can get confusing at times....
