Yes, and the inability to feel love, empathy, compassion I too think would be an awful way to have a human experience here. Compassion, empathy.. the ability to think about our thoughts and feelings, AND the ability to think about the thoughts and feelings of others is part of what sets human consciousness apart ( so "I" think, and we would not know). To me it is much an experience, one that I am lucky to get to be part of.

I do feel great depths of love, and compassion, tho they can waver. They are fluid, changing, growing, receding, not constant. I think that's ok. Well it's ok with me, so that's all I ask for.

Maybe you could give a little more info, why do you think you are confusing one for the other ? What makes you feel that ?

I am curious, interesting topic. No idea if that helped at all, just thinking about it.
