I often think about how unfortunate it is that I was born a human and not an animal because of how much anguish and mental pain I feel on the regular. Does anyone else feel the same? Like, if I were a fly or a deer or a wolf or something, if I fucked up once I would just die and that'd be that. If you fuck up as a human, you get to live in torment and keep lamenting your fuck up for tens of years until you die. There's no easy way out unless you're able to kill yourself. I'm so tired.
>>5166236>Be born as a human>Wish to be a fly>Wish granted>Die three days later>Get reborn as a human
>>5166236The difference between an animal and a human is that humans have a conscious ability to act, while animals don't. Animals can't choose to be in anguish, humans can. Animals can't choose to just end it all, humans can. Animals can't just treat the ailments himself, humans can.Honestly I also wish you weren't born a human but an animal and experience every ounce of anguish and inability to do ANYTHING about it, for eternity. Be ripped out of the womb of you dead mother and torn to piece's with animal instincts keeping your sole remaining head alive for hours.Be struck by a predator but live only for wound to develop into a rotten hazard, living in constant pain, having reduced mobility and have no ability to do anything about it until you either collapse or be hunted down by bigger pray.Live in constant fear of bigger pray, not knowing where you next meal is going to come from or where will you sleep or even if you will sleep to the next day, being in constant state of hunger.Be caught by lucky young humans who decided to experiment their torture techniques on you.I truly wish you would live life you truly deserve and request, if only it be in my power do so...
>>5166236Yeah. I know exactly how you feel.
>>5166431>humans have a conscious ability to act, while animals don'tBullshit based on feels and limited imagination. If we have it so do they, their nervous systems fulfil all the same functions. But it's really looking like neither we nor they have it, and "conscious decision-making" is an illusion that actually happens after the decision is already made. As far as the subjective experience of consciousness, there's no empirical reason to assume other animals don't have it.People that deny consciousness to animals are usually the kind of people that tortured small animals when they were kids. They have motivated reasoning to favor animal unconsciousness.
>>5166236I mean yeah? Your actions have consequences and making mistakes fucking sucks. But that means your "good" actions also effect your life!!! You deserve to do something small for yourself and be proud of it.Also if an animal were to fuck up it would probably die suffer for the rest of it's life untill it dies of starvation.....
>>5166631The only way animals "consciously" act is in a perfect setting, otherwise 99% of their actions are instinctual. This is why fairly intelligent human breed animals like dogs and cats are often compared to small children, they do possess a certain level of "conscious decision making" but not enough to stop them from repeatedly showing for a fork in the socket or jump in front of the moving car.I'm not saying animals "don't have consciousness" but the amount they have and the way they utilize it is amount to practically zero. People have fucking hard time action "conscious" in crowds or if they even a little overstimulated, forget about damned animals.Regardless of semantics, people have ability to thing of their thoughts and solve their own problems. Especially considering the fact that this "anguis and mental pain" that retard OP mention and faggots like him constantly preach is not only self inflicted but the source of it is literally personal incopotance in one's own actions of feelings. This is why there is no fucking mercy for faggots like that. You "suffering" because you, fucking faggot, refuses to solve problems, refuses to deal with situations and denies you own weakness THAT YOU THE FUCKING CAUSE OFF. You ran ran from problem, hoping they solve the self and than complain it's world fault because you so weak. Giving a genuine look inside yourself will help realize that the whole field of psychology is literally created because people actively or passively refuse to answer big questions about who they are, what is this place and why it works like that. People live on autopilot forost of the time, of they lucky, they die so not knowing and worrying about shit. But those who not so lucky end up hit with these questions head on and crash the fuck out.. not because its "impossible" to answer, but simply because they refuse fucking doing so by running away in fear, which is EXACTLY what a fucking animal run on instincts would do...

>>5166236My life is a ruin of my own making. There are more possibilities left unventured, abandoned friendships, missed career opportunities, underperformed exams, untested relationships and unpractised instruments in my past than I can bear to fully acknowledge. Even through my own ambivalence a constant litany of self-loathing pervades my every thought, from waking until I go to sleep. But at least I'm not a horse who has to gallop a mile across a field because I got scared by a big flower, before dying of having guts that were too big.
