Answer 1

Those thoughts of yours were shared by many of us on this sphere we call "Earth".Humans seek to understand,so its only natural that you be awed by such a marvelous subject as this one.

Answer 2

yep - I am 60 and still feel this - I think  people probably don't talk about it as it makes them seem hippy dippy and childlike .

I remember vividly  lying on a heath one night with a dramatic sky - full moon and two other friends all really getting off on the whole d**n thing.

too rheumaticky now for a repeat performance but the feeling doesn't go - still awed.

Answer 3

nah no ways, theres a lot of people that thinks like you! I do; i know where your coming at! Good first step by the way on wondering about life! You should take philosophy in college!

Answer 4

The whole philosophical movement of "Existentialism" came about by this "weird deep level" of thinking.

A quote by Existentialist Jean Paul Sartre's book Nausea:

"The houses. I walk between the houses, I am between the houses, on the pavement; the pavement under my feet exists, the houses close around me, as the water closes over me, on the paper the shape of a swan. I am. I am,. I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think. I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I....because....ugh! I flee. "

Answer 5

I'm 38 and still tripping out on life.

I think everyone does.
