pity : Sympathy and sorrow aroused by the misfortune or suffering of another.


did i confuse pity with love?


i would take home a stray dog or cat if it looked sad and it followed me. i would shower it and take it to a vet if need be and spend money on it. i would treat it as my own and give it a good home. i'd hug it everyday and pat it's head when it needs comfort. i'd never question where it'd came from and what it did. and i wouldn't expect it to turn on me. and i'd give it a good burial and a tearful goodbye if it had to leave me.


is that pity or love?
