When someone you know is having a pity party, its no fun. Usually, its not a party anybody really wants to attend. Jonah finally obeyed God, but took no joy in the revival that followed his preaching in Ninevah. His self-focus kept him from seeing the big picture. Instead, he sat down, asking God that he might die. Pity party indeed!
