First of all, empathy is not something that is "deserved." It is something that is felt, or not felt, by individuals. It cannot be legislated. It can only be experienced.
It can only be experienced in the current moment.
The current moment is the only place that meaning, purpose and significance can actually exist. Adding an infinitely long life does not change this. Each and every moment must stand on its own, and each experienced moment is 100% subjective.
You really are bad at this.
