... imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. Douglas Adams
Don't be so foolish to think that this world was made for you - there are billions of people, here, sharing this earth.
Billions of people sharing this collection of experiences.
So, stop dwelling in your puddle of thoughts because just like you had no say of if you wanted in this world, means you have no say when you get out.
Well, you somewhat do, but that sort of a route is morbid... and a cop out.
