Er, excuse me, who am I? Hello? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I?

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Each question reaches for something basic—identity, presence, purpose—then another question interrupts it. Even 'who am I?' becomes something to puzzle over. The hesitations make the search for life's meaning sound less like a prepared philosophical argument and more like someone trying to get their bearings.
