La sociedad nos compadecerá


Explanation:
"Compadecer" como transitivo parece que no implicase (necesariamente)una acción para aliviar al compadecido, mientras que "compadecerse de alguien" pareciera que sí implica una acción para aliviarlo
Por ejemplo: Te compadezco, pero nada puedo hacer por tí - Me auxilió porque se compadeció de mí.
