IF you were open to empathy would you see lack? Or would you be empathizing complete in your own ? I can open empathy in myself to accept you as you are all the same in this view, without feeling your lacking in empathy.

Achieving a constant state of bliss is not the singular purpose we have in 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
Can't always have pleasure w/out the pain, the ecstasy w/out the agony. Just my opinion.

I would agree with you on this bit.
We can be attached to rapture much like anything else.
We can be attached to agony too.
So where does one find the balance?
