Count yourself lucky you are the human
The old Socrates statement 'better to be a human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied' Not so long ago I'd have said the pig, because it doesn't have the stress and pain of a human....it is only when you look at the humans around you who don't think deeply on issues and who live their lives around what pop culture gives them in thwir ivory tower that you realise it is better to be a dissatisfied human. Although the pains are greater, so too are the pleasures...it is rather extreme emotions good and bad over constant complacency. I prefer the first.
