Do I have a lack of empathy?

Well, I can empathize. I'm not sure if I have empathy myself, although what I know is that whether I do or don't is irrelevant. I've spent my life thus far trying to better myself, others, and the world around me even though I feel no deep personal connection to any of the above. So, in saying that even if I am borderline sociopathic, does it matter? I am content with who I am and my existence, and my existence thus far has been a benefit to the world regardless of how minimal. I have no interest to inflict suffering onto others despite my apparent lack of empathy, so it's not too bad. Mind you, I do think life in of itself is inherently meaningless and that's perfectly OK because the void is the greatest equalizer.
