(#5879) Having a conscience is being self aware, unlike putin, trump and musk

      When Rene Descartes proposed his evidence for existing, "Cogito, ergo sum", "I think therefore I am" it also served as evidence negating doubt. To have to say one exists is also an argument against the doubt of the existing. I bring this up as a foundation for saying that self awareness is natural to human beings and should be understood as proof of our natures. I say that curiosity is one of the two main natures, compassion being the other, of we human beings. So being curious and self aware about our existence is also natural. We know that curiosity is the sense that we need to know more in what we already understand. The same with self awareness, it is a sensing of who we are and adapting that to who we are in relation to others.
     Being self aware is not only knowledge of who we are and who we want to be but it is also a feeling of empathy toward all those in existence who are also confined by it. In other words we are all in this existence together trying to make sense of how to properly exist within it. The complexities of existing bring us together on a planet not unlimited in it's resources. So we build societies based upon the rule of law and principles of democracy. Well we should all be doing that but obviously we see too many examples of that not being the case. Such as those in the title of this blog post. The putins, trumps, and musks of this world have not evolved into their own self awareness and how that properly aligns with the rest of us.
     You will know those who have yet to evolve as civilized humans by their inability to function in an empathetic state. They see the world through the lens of insensitivity. They don't know the pain and suffering of others because they cannot extend out beyond themselves. They only feel their own sensations and disregard feelings of others as a weakness on the part of others. They are not evolved human beings. They are instead rudimentary souls who never defined for themselves an association of care with others. They mostly only care for themselves. This is a disorder that generally can be described as narcissistic personality disorder. Although it is possible to cure oneself of this disorder it is highly unlikely because complex self reflection and realizing personal flaws are often obstructed by the disorder itself.
