Being self aware is overrated. Having that conscious ability to be aware of yourself, your thoughts and emotions and how you impact others as well as the environment around you. It's all overrated.
Human beings have this innate ability to see themselves as the gods of this world, this solar system, even the universe.
Yet the overwhelming majority of human beings are so aimlessly lost within their own projected uniqueness that they lose sight of virtually everything else.
Some humans are aware and they operate as such, others are aware and operate in an opposite manner, while even more are completely devoid of any self awareness and are just following generic timelines that have the least amount of discomfort possible.
How useful is self awareness when you can willfully look away from it? That's not a survival technique, it's an attention problem. Even I, myself, suffer from not being able to utilize that self awareness to bring forth meaningful and lasting change in my life.
I would say that my problem IS my consciousness. Me, the awareness writing this. Like puppet strings being pulled from behind dull, dead eyes.
I ask you, what do you honestly think is so special about us? Forego the normal complaints about human existence like war, environmental impact, violence, etc.
How useful is it to be able to question everything you do, say and think? Wouldn't it be vastly more efficient to just survive?! This "spark" isn't special and we really aren't even that far from other animals that inhabit this planet.
We rule with an iron fist because of fear. We build our structures out of fear. We invest in science out of fear.
Fear of the inevitable, fear of death, fear of inferiority.
Yet most human beings remain completely unaware to that fact. Despite the nature of the programming of their brain. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Being human isn't special. We're just a temporary blip on the entire timeline of the universe and I can almost guarantee that it won't be some God or apocalypse or climate change that'll kill us off. No, we will be the ones who do that.
Because no one, and I mean NO ONE, kills humans quite like we do. Sweet dreams.
