Absolutes feel the same range of emotions as humans, even if they embody a seemingly monomanic concept - for example Misery can experience (somewhat paradoxially) joy, fear and even (somewhat) love.. that is why no Absolute can ever truly become "supreme" over others.. also in order to fully oppose the concepts of Bliss Misery will have to know her opposite.. for they can not exist without one another.

Basically every Absolute knows everything about their opposite and can feel / understand said opposite but has willingly rejected it in favor of their own philosophy (much as Satan could understand and feel God's love but rejected it).

Being Neutral Evil Misery gets most of her "happiness" from getting what she wants, Arbiter called her a demon on a few occassions and some even think she's the Devil - she may not be the Devil but she certainly has elements of it in her.

Absolutes are like the Ancient Greek gods or other anthropomorphic deities, they basically seek to dominate each other by spreading their individual philosophies - as I mentioned before, in order to do this they already have full awareness of their opposites.. all Absolutes also follow certain sacred laws, save for the "rogues" such as Violence and Bloody Mary - an important law is that opposites must always exist, so if Oblivion "died" Creation would also perish.. that's why Evil had to replace Misery, otherwise Bliss would of perished and neither happiness nor suffering would exist.. Apathy would of been pretty "okay" with that but it would lead to even worse things..
