The role of pity and jealousy

When someone beats someone,
Not my own he is though,
I rush to stop beating,
Triggered more by pity.

When someone traps someone,
Not my known though she is,
I interfere with it,
Triggered by jealousy.

Pity and jealousy
Are two alternatives
That prompt one to react
In a given situation.
