if what you’re saying is is that you’re a deeply emotional person, and wouldn’t it be much easier to be a more down-to-earth less sensitive person, then i would say that in many ways you’re right. except, that i’m sure that you yourself don’t really feel that it’s true. you gave away part of the answer in your question.
1. you’d feel less joy
2. you wouldn’t be as sensitive to others feelings as you are (sensitivity, like all things have 2 sides to it – feel extra sensitive to your own pain and, flip, feel extra sensitive to others
3. everyone in their life experiences pain at some point. i think the ones who have always managed it in lesser doses don’t get all off-track and have the inner strength to deal with more: so it makes you into a stronger person
4. enables you to focus on what’s truly more important – people and spiritual matters, instead of mundane things
is it challenging to not get lost in our feelings and to get out of bed and do what we have to do? yes, but it’s like being able to see colors in world where everyone else is color-blind or the ability to sing beautiful melodies in world that is tone-deaf.
