“Prior to humanity’s development of self-awareness, life had only played the game of survival. Following the development of self-awareness, life began to also play the game of meaning. Existence was no longer a matter of being, but a matter of being something for a reason. So it began: an endless charade of impossibility. The Terrible Paradox of Self-Awareness: How Awareness Is the Beginning and End of Suffering”
