Just a thought. Is absorbing/radiating a stretch of the analogy in this context, or is there more too it that I don't understanding?
Usually, the more emotionally absorbing people also tend to be very loving. However, the more emotionally radiating people could be either loving or selfish.
Your absorbing is not STS at all but rather a different topic altogether I'd say. Empathy is others oriented-- or rather a closer realization of the Law of One.
