Yes be conscious
Our consciousness fascinates me, the more I read about it and learn about it, the less I understand it. At first, there were humanoid people without awareness, or rather without thoughts. Quite a happy kind in my opinion. Then came the great leap in evolution and we separated ourselves from being animals. At least that is how we think about it. We thread thoughts of each other into logic, so that we can explain with good words that we really are no longer animals. I have never seen my cat suffer a burnout or a nostalgic attack over Spain where she comes from. Incidentally, I still believe that she has a kind of consciousness, but one that does not bother her so much. Our human consciousness contains the two great evolutionary leap forward elements: yesterday and tomorrow. And that’s where our misery begins, our longing for yesterday, our hope for tomorrow, and the vast majority of our thoughts are far from about the here and now.
