I especially pity psychopaths. This does not equal losing. It doesn't even make winning harder. In fact, it improves my ability to defeat them, because I am honest about their debilitation. They are incapable of relating to their fellows, and this is indeed pitiful.

Being pitiful does not make you dangerous. Feeling pity doesn't stop you from being dangerous.

You don't have to hate something to handle it properly. Being afraid doesn't make you run away. A healthy person is able to handle their business as necessary and feel appropriately about the glory or tragedy - or both.
