A Disturbance in the Force
Yes, Ottershrew, I have to agree with Joe on this one. It seems that your 'pity program' may have been triggered by his initial post. It's understandable - it was quite the pity evoking post - but what you're likely to find is that, as usual, pity ploys are feeding mechanisms - as the C's say, "pity those who pity".
This, of course, doesn't mean one shouldn't be empathetic, but one must learn to discern between the two - empathy and pity - to avoid being fed upon. At least, this is my current understanding.
