If you believe in evolution as the force behind the emergence of new, and hopefully "improved," species, then the step forward for us humans is to put this magical gift of consciousness to good use. As you point out in your post, it means bringing mindfulness, or meaning, if you will, to your daily activities. It doesn't matter what you do; as Camus points out, the important thing is to do it with passion. Happiness will follow; don't go looking for it. Unless we shift from a mode of thoughtless consumption and planetary destruction to a creative, contributory economic model, we will not make the next step in the Darwinian struggle. Nature, we must remember, couldn't care less which choice we make; it will prevail, regardless. Thanks for sharing this post, Scott.
