If someone is ill and has no money and no family and no place to live, wouldn't it be pretty awful not to think their situation was pathetic?

Pathetic...

It's different from words like pale, weak, small, or big, strong, bright... which can be used both ways

Pathetic is like... bad.

Oh I see what you mean.

It's still a negative term.
