I like to think the "egg theory" is onto something and perhaps the suffering that comes with this experience is part of the process.

I doubt enlightenment exists or is a healthy goal.

I hope reincarnation isnt real especially after seeing the sheer magnitude and intensity of suffering and trauma humans and other creatures can endure here.

Way too broad word to be usable, not even in casual conversation, not to mention as definition. When elaborated it's nearly always either just a religion or searching for some other superstition.

I can accept that it's part of the yearning for fulfilment, but it's neither anything special nor anything greater than any other way that should be especially protected.
