Mercy

Compassion leads you to have mercy, which is like forgiveness. If you have mercy on someone, you let them off the hook or are kind to them somehow.
This is a quality that has to do with compassion, forgiveness, and leniency. If convicted of a crime, you might plead for the judge's mercy, meaning a lesser punishment. When people say "May God have mercy on me!" they're asking for forgiveness. Mercy may be given or received. You might show your little cousin mercy by not forcing him to eat a worm. People jokingly say a bad singer is showing mercy if she ends the show early.


Ruthlessness

Ruthlessness is the quality of having no mercy or pity for other people. Your cruelty toward your younger sister might be described as ruthlessness.
Someone who's ruthless is uncaring, harsh, or even brutal towards others — and the characteristic of acting this way is ruthlessness. A football player's ruthlessness might be seen as a good thing in the context of a football game, while a dictator's ruthlessness is more likely to be seen as evil and vicious. In the fourteenth century, the word reuthe meant "pity or compassion," from the Old Norse root hryggð. To have ruthlessness, therefore, is to be without pity.
