which makes me

pa·thet·ic adj.

1. Arousing or capable of arousing sympathetic sadness and compassion: “The old, rather shabby room struck her as extraordinarily pathetic� (John Galsworthy).
2. Arousing or capable of arousing scornful pity.

Which is not at all how we use that word. Most of the time we use that word to communicate our lack of compassion towards someone.

Like, “that pathetic loser is robbing the planet of precious oxygen.” Why is that?

And I preach this Sunday. Not good. Not good at all. On Peter walking on water…a very un-apathetic story. In fact, his distractedness got him in deep water - literally.
