What the fuck is wrong with this universe? Why does anything exist at all? Why do things exist just so they can go out of existence? Why do human beings have to be so self-conscious when it causes us psychic pain?

Because god is the ultimate prankster

It would be impossible for just nothing to exist because "nothing" is an impossibility without its opposite, which would be "something." You can't have one without the other so therefore you will necessary have both.
Now that things exist, they will naturally follow various logical laws and things end up in a certain way because of this. Currently it seems likely that life is "an inevitable outcome of thermodynamics" and that is why things ended up this way, with progressively more complex organisms.

If it was done with reason, you could interpret existence as punishment for something.
If not, someone's just being a dick.

The absence of reason would mean the universe was indifferent. No one's being a dick. Which is worse than if a malevolent God created it. At least in the latter situation there was something to rebel against. But the situation that we are most likely placed in renders our angst totally impotent.

The more serious we get the more ridiculous we seem. We just become these edgy characters because feeling animosity towards life is animosity towards nothing. Our real emotions are directed at nothing. It's too unbearable for me.
