Metta is loving kindness to help people to be happy.

Karuna is compassion or mercy to help people to get out of suffer.

Mudita is sympathetic joy, being happy for others, without a trace of envy
.
Uppekha is equanimity or accepting others as they are.

People always say about Metta and Karuna. In fact, we need to have Mudita and Uppekha as well.

If you should help and can help them, you can use Metta and Karuna.
After you help them, you may use Mudita.

If you should not help or cannot help them, you need to use Uppekha.

We should be neutral and use the reasons and wisdom (not the desire) to consider whether we should and can help them.
