Existence and the blinding effect

Start at the beginning. Existence is generally a good thing.

We're born naked, ignorant, and unable to care for ourselves. Its downhill from there for most of humanity.

But existence itself is rarely seen as being worse than non-existence.

Non-existence is considered when extreme pain lasts too long and there are little to no options. It evokes rare consideration.

But pain is relative. It's how humanity has survived for so long. Its a kind of individual ignorance that has a blinding effect on most of humanity keeping it from self destructing.

Without this blinding effect an individual's existence would be torture.

But such individuals do exist.
