When I look at someone who is going through suffering, I feel pity for them. Is it bad to feel that way?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

See you have no control over it. This compassion arises spontaneously, isn't it, then why do you have to label it good or bad? It’s okay, whatever feeling comes at that moment, that’s it. But don’t simply act on your feelings. See it also through your intellect.
