This is where the development of wisdom comes becomes an evolutionary factor, I think. Unbalanced empathy can be quite the 'hell'- maker for those on the way to 'heaven', aye what Lotus Flower?

Absolutely David.
I feel every being that has passed through my
life has aided in the process of my expansion,
enlightenment, and evolution.
It is precisely through empathy ( deepening
of such abilities through trials & tribulations within
relations ) that wisdom is born.
Where strength & empowerment are found.
Also, it is where unconditional love is birthed.
Where God can be found. Where ultimate oneness
with all things can be generated.
This is where the "hell makers" aid in the progression
to "heaven".
Yes, I feel the maintaing of such
bound-aries / dharmic obligations
& personal response-ability have
helped aid in such advancement
( unfolding & flowering ) .
Please elaborate if I have misinterpreted your
initial post so I may understand further.
