So. Instead of giving any arguments you prefer to claim a higher ground based only on some intrinsic quality miraculously shared only by people who agree with you, but some terrible people don't and deserve pity. Nice try, but nope.

I get it, really. World's change quick, people don't. They have life, it hurts, they're sad. We're empathetic, we're sad too. We don't want to be sad, so we don't want them to be sad. See? Easy. Except the fact that it doesn't help anybody other than mild therapeutic effect. And is completely irrelevant to this thread.

If anybody cares to explain and expand what is that moral issue I'm missing here or how is it relevant, I'm all ears.

I feel like I've put much more effort in making that social interaction fruitful and got only lazy "I'm sorry for you" in return. Ouch.
