extistential nonsense, reincarnation 

Why am I here?

...

Why am "I" "here"?

Where will "I" be in the next life?

Will I be in a life in the future? Or maybe in the past?

Will I be within the proximity of this life? Or could I be reborn on an entirely different world?

Why am "I" not "someone else"? Or have I "been" someone else? How do I know I'm not someone else "right now", and "I" simply haven't got there yet? Or maybe "I" already have been "someone else"?

If I won't have another life in this reality, where will "I" be? From some outer reality, why did I then choose to be "here", in this life?

An awful lot of "why" questions for things that simply "are".

re: extistential nonsense, world disasters/climate change/covid mention 

I think the main reason I'm getting these sorts of thoughts lately is that I look at the state of things regarding the apocalyptic fears and anxieties that come with climate change, a pandemic, and political nonsense... and I find myself thinking...

These sure are Interesting Times.

Why are These Times the ones "I" am in?
