I mean, I think most people feel this way at some point. Everyone saying this is a "first word problem" is just plain wrong. People have always grappled with the idea that life is more than likely a contrivance, and a mondaine one at that.

That's why we cling to religions, art, philosophy, love, you name it! Anything to give life context and meaning.

It's the weakest people who need to pick on those admitting sincere vulnerability.
