One thing that has always kept me out of existential crisis is my curiosity. We each have only a very small window of time and space to observe this universe.

So, you feel that this is all there is to existence and when you die, there is nothing? I have experienced so much paranormal activity in the past that I just cannot feel that this is 'all there is'. And, although I have no information about what lies ahead (as you stated, no one does), I don't think it is too hopeful to wish that whatever it is, it has to be better than what I am here. Were those souls trapped here? Or, did they just decide not to go into the light? I don't know but I can tell you that I am so close to not caring about this existence anymore that anything has to be better. Anything.

As to why the universe dropped me here, I have an idea...



Which does not imbue me with desire to remain. I never asked to be an example.
