Imo, Christ's and Frodo's pity (and their burdens/suffering/peril due to it) are incomparable with those to which you reffered.

It's joy all the same.

I disagree; this joy "produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love" (letter #89). Quite not all the same .
