it feels like being human is a twisted curse rather than a blessing. Like a cruel monkey paw where we have self-awareness but no self-control.

I don't feel this way.
When does a candle become a blaze? When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?
