So I’ve been thinking and wanna hear some feed back

So If consciousness is a purely human trait, are we better off for it or does it simply lead to greater problems? What are your thoughts on this

Consciousness isn't purely human, but a heightened sense of awareness definitely does create more stress. Other animals, even plants are conscious of their existence but they're also aware of their own importance in the weave of life. Humans often become consumed by their identity and fall into divisions and fitting in and society and status. We are more focused on self which I believe complicates our existence.
