I would hate to look at life in such a negative fashion. I get where there coming from but I don't agree with it. That's my opinion anyways.

In my current understanding , the cause of all the human confusion is attachment on knowledge . Knowledge has became a basis / referral to living and human seems to become the knowledge itself .
We accepted the differences and had created a culture of comparison because of our knowledge .
We by our culture base on knowledge , we created the differences of joy against suffering , happy against sorrow , good against bad , right against wrong , true against false ......all these because of human culture of using knowledge as a basis of all .
Currently I cannot find any reason to be agree that nothingness is a core of bliss ....perhaps in Buddhism as we progress our desire , our emotion of bliss or sorrow will be reduced until there is nothing -empty , no feeling of joy or sad ...that is emptiness and perhaps further into that process is nothingness - the original nature of all existence .

In my current understanding , by being awake to aware , aware to realize the concept of Buddhism , we will living our life in a different meaning . Life is like a road , body is the car , our emotion is the driver ..........so is always the driver call on where to go , which road to take .....is always the driver choice .
Suffering or joy is resulted from our emotion ........and defined by our knowledge and acceptance of such knowledge ......
Buddhism in my current understanding is beyond knowledge , beyond culture so if we hold on our knowdledge ...thats suffering .
Buddhism is a process that we will eventually free from all emotion , not by our choice or practices but its natural ..........
As our emotion decreased , we will be in a condition less burden of self , with less desire , less love , less ego , less fear etc ...this condition is best descriped as " joy" or " compassionate" , "free"...but any words by human knowledge is never could explain such condition acurately ......
That condition is a resulted from being less self .......thats my current understanding of Buddhism.
