The transition seems fairly smooth to me, probably because the action doesn't feel like action: It feels like the continuation of the musings in the earlier paragraphs.

This is someone who's thinking through reasons why life just doesn't make sense, but I'm not buying any of it: It seems detached, almost philosophical. I think that easing us into this more gradually and giving the reader some anchor points - something like motivations or action touchpoints - would help.
