Comfortably Numbed

We have evolved to survive not to see what is there. We have developed filters, and only see what we absolutely need to for our own well-being. If, all of a sudden, we saw reality as it is we would probably go extinct, being unprepared, being too specialized, blocking out all else that does not keep us safe inside a narrow spectrum. The reality-video game is designed to take us to the next level; it gives us survival tools, time, next steps, but if we ever got to the highest level of this game of realization, we might well be too enlightened to evermore live within the dark that we now consider to be the light.
