I do have those moments. I think we all do, the why's and what if's. Ultimately, we have to remind ourselves that the universe doesn't owe us a debt of satisfaction. Isn't it interesting how knowing that doesn't prevent us from having those moments? Mind, whatever it is, is an awfully funny thing.


And about this, we are after all the embodiment of the system we study and it deems that we should have a sense of 'I' or selfness. So it's just us as the living system asking those questions from the perspective it has given us. So we can't be blamed for it. Some people take the philosophy too far and refer to themselves internally in the third person in a (imo) silly attempt to get around this 'I' illusion but the way we are 'meant' to be is with an I.
