My name is Nando, the one with the hanging zygotes and the dragging banana...
Are we "inherently stupid beings" or just searching for meaning? An analysis of existence and value in today's society.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Human existence is caught between the search for meaning and an apparent lack of purpose, raising questions about our intrinsic value in a world that often imposes roles on us.
Sometimes you come across reflections that, however raw they may be, make you stop and think. Like the idea that our value as humans is, in a way, "infinitely negative". Not because we are bad, but because, apparently, we developed consciousness in order to want more, and nature answered with existence itself, a complete package with its joys and its dramas.
## The weight of consciousness
We live trapped in our thoughts, seeking shelter anywhere, bringing up topics that seem trivial. We work, start families, travel, do everything we are supposed to do. It is a cycle, a routine that, for some, serves to forget that nobody asked us whether we wanted to come into this world. An imposition, really.
## Life as a disease
And in the middle of all this, the idea arises that life itself is a disease. A violent cycle that repeats itself, a walk with no apparent direction. Evolution seems like a mirage, and the final destination, "nowhere". It is a pessimistic view, I admit, but one that forces us to question the meaning of our daily actions.
