Job 6:14–21, “To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.”
Job believed that everyone should show pity another person who is suffering. However, when someone sees another person suffering the person wants to justify, to himself, the reasons that he isn’t suffering. If I am compassionate to another person who is suffering then, in some way, I accept the fact that I could just as easily be suffering as the other person. If I persuade myself that he deserves to suffer then I feel much better about my own situation and not so bad about his situation.
