Why is pity something commonly scorned?
I recently looked up "pity" in the dictionary, and it didn't confirm my impression of the connotation it has, but I feel that when you pity someone you look down on them. It's not the same as just having compassion for them. Maybe I just feel that way because the only time I ever hear the word used is when somebody says "I pity you" in order to give an air of superiority over the person.
