Just found this in a book I am reading. It comes from Soren Kierkegaard.

"Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted? And if I am compelled to take part in it, where is the director? I want to see him."

Would you say that you are searching in some way, Mishap?

I rarely ponder the whys and wherefores but if I did, I couldn't have put it better.

I have often thought pretty much exactly the same.

Every human being is thinking about life. But the truth is. That we o not know what it is and why)

I like the bit about wanting to see the director - presumably he has a bone or two to pick!

I am reminded of Terry Wogan -"Do I come here often? "grin

Whoever would have thought Kierkegaard would have had such a sense of humour?
