It’s easier to be compassionate when you feel yourself to securely have the upper hand (though probably a lot of the time pity is a better word for that). But when you feel someone to be in a more ‘fortunate’ position, and you don’t like what they’re making of it, then compassion doesn’t come so naturally! I still prefer this state of affairs to having the upper hand too easily over someone I like and respect but worry might be completely losing it.
