Base realisations are those where you realise that, despite and in spite of all the various layers of civilization you pile on in life, all the morals and ethics you claim to subscribe to, all the fantastic notions of being better than at least a few other people in the world, you are - at heart - a rather pathetic, base human being. Selfish, self-motivated and convinced that the world and all its inhabitants revolve around you. Determined to see the world from only your point of view and cocksure of always being the wronged, the injured, the victim.
And of course, once you realise that you have all this time been trying to convince yourself of being a bettr person, you feel less human and more worm-like. Like a lowly, earth-living worm, who deserves the monstrous boot that will soon come and crush it underfoot, and grind it satisfyingly in to the wet, clammy, stinking earth, where it belongs.
