Poll: Is being sentient a gift or a curse?

[glutenberg]

Is the ability to be conscious of oneself's existence a curse or gift? Explain away please.

 

[Looney]

Well, according to the bible, it's bad. We were supposed kicked out of Eden for eating from the Tree of Knowledge (also known as the Tree of Consciousness).

 

[glutenberg]

Well, I guess that's one way of thinking about it. I was mainly asking about one's personal feelings about it.

Reality is subjective.

Your sentience should allow you to realise this.

random thought:

Once you realize that you exist and realize what your limits are, you come to know what your limits are not and become invincible...like the Bat man
