Any literature that can cure me of this specific existential woe?
>Are we objectively speaking the equivalent of just slightly larger bacteria? I don't mean that to indicate a level of disgust for the human condition, but just how I guess small and unaware of the greater universe we actually are, yet our instincts tell us to keep moving forward like germs.
>Is consciousness real or just and illusion and we're really as pathetic mindless as the bacteria we watch? Are there greater beings observing us from a microscope right now?

It's only a source of woe to you because you lack the ability to accept what you know to be the truth, and so are stuck consciously denying the undeniable. The strain you feel is the tension between what you want to be and what you know that you are.

Who the hell do you think you are to say that this existence isn't good enough anyway?
