Removing/separating moral and ethical considerations from the heart seems misguided to me. I've found that some of the people with the biggest hearts whom I've known can also be some of the hardest to get along with. It has much to do w/ empathy, something I find lacking in this thread in places tbph.

Achieving a constant state of bliss is not the singular purpose we have during our time here (>>>IMO!). For reference, I'd point to something like Leary's 8 circuit model;
5. The neurosomatic circuit

This is concerned with neurological-somatic feedbacks, feeling high and blissful, somatic reprogramming, etc. It may be called the rapture circuit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-...atic _circuit

3 more circuits exist (acc. to Leary) "above" this one. Can't always have pleasure w/out the pain, the ecstasy w/out the agony. That has been my experience, in any case.
