... Human beings romanticize consciousness as a tremendous advance in tooldom. That they may even deem themselves capable of determining what is and is not advantageous in such a complex world! I see it as being on the same plane as any trait any organism could possess.
One could say that Consciousness is like a giant limb that we are born with as humans, and it is only effective to the extent that it is utilized, worked, exercised. If it is not fully utilized it is a dead weight and no advantage at all. An organism unburdened by consciousness altogether (if such a thing exists), has an equal chance at survival and an equal certainty of death. Perhaps they are even more efficient.
How many days have I spent thinking about the life that I live?
How many times have I watched myself through the eyes of god, beasts, other men?
Stress. Trouble borrowed. Grip and greed. These are born of a conscious mind.
Action. Action heals all the wounds of modern life.
All I mean is, I'd like to think less, much much less.
As for all of you, well, I hope you enjoy a good ole' fashioned hypocrite.
