Disagree and agree with the following:
1) Would you like a place with less problems?
2) Would you like to rarely feel pain or anxiety?
3) Would life for you be better if life was simpler?
4) What about if your days were more like dreams and you forgot much of it by the next day?
5) What about if relationships were structured and easy?
If you answered YES to at least three of these, then you want to be turned into an animal, such as a lyrebird, that scratches its food up from the ground as it lazily wanders the Australian underbrush.
Humans evolved and grew larger brains while gaining the ability to talk and pass on information in various forms. Our world society structure changed continuously throughout time, and so did the kind of people that lorded over us.
I spoke to a person the other day while in my line of work with the state government. He said that he hated being sober. All he wanted to do was be drunk all the time. And eventually he will 'off' himself.
There are many reasons that this may happen. It could be as simple as an addictive personality... However, often it is the way a person was raised, the influences they had from other adult figures, the teenagers he messed around with, and the circumstances that evolved as he became an adult.
The funny thing is, if he was a lyrebird, he would not have the brain capacity to realise all this. He would not get so down. And he would not know how to aquire or create alcohol (some animals do get stoned and drunk in the wild).
This raises many questions. And even though to de-evolve seems like the answer, I would like you to give me the answer that you think is right.
Regardless, it seems as if we might be doing life wrong.
Maybe we have set up so many social and religious and government road blocks that only a select few are really happy. While some are mostly happy. And most of us are 50% happy. While the remaining people just want to die.
Did something go wrong?
Because maybe lyrebirds are happier.
