Is it concerning I had an existential crisis because of a banana?
Currently, it is raining outside. I am bored in my apartment with my cat and finished off a banana, then stared at the banana peel for a solid ten seconds before going "What if life is just like this banana? All eaten up and floppy. Nothing left to give."
I have zero idea what brought this on, but suddenly feel like I need to get out of my apartment and go see a movie or go to the mall or something. XD
Would you say this concerning or normal? Banana's should not be this deep.

Did you end up going somewhere?
Yeah. Went to the mall and roamed about a bit. Spent $175 on new clothes since its been years since I got any. Then went to see a movie.
It was an expensive, but fun day.
Much like the banana, there is a tree that grows new bananas. The banana falls and is eaten by other life, but its seeds plant new banana trees and hundreds more bananas are born from a single banana. The laws of conservation of matter and energy should give you some hope. The material and energy is here, its only in another form for another creature. We only have a small part to play, but its a vital one.
I dont think its concerning. I feel like as I get older I can feel my mindset shifting even against my will. My empathy and sense of duty continues to grow as I get older and more capable. They say it declines in old age along with cognition. Part of me thinks it is biological. Wouldnt it be crazy if our body has a timer and basically says “youre wise(old) enough now, time to contribute to the tribe whatever you learned”? It would be rad if exchange of information is baked in our DNA. You see birds and mammals do it, set up predator alert networks. What if this is the same imperative?
You are wise beyond words, Noble Rooster.

I think it's fair to say it's not the banana that caused the existential crisis but just happened to be a bystander to it. Anyhow there is always new possibilities being created around you. I just watched a gif of a girl putting a banana in her butt.
