Rei is the easy path; Meaningless, static positivity.
Asuka represents what Shinji learns during 3rd impact. Existence is meaningless if there is only numb bliss (like in instrumentality). You aren't existing if you are in a state of constant positive feedback and no "grit". What he realises is that life is worth living not because it always good, but rather because other people as well as the tensions, rejections and pain they bring with them are what makes your existence real in the first place, while instrumentality is a fake, meaningless existence. Which is why he ends up rejecting instrumentality and chooses life, and therefore rejection and Asuka.
I really like Eva because it's quite relatable even if you come from a similar place as Anno and probably a lot of people on this board. It's presents a mature way of accepting and dealing with the struggles of daily life. BTW this whole non-existence-thing is interestingly enough a thesis Hegel talked about quite a bit.
HAES people are rejecting any sort of negativity because they think not having to better themselves and not having to deal with anything but constant confirmation and happiness is what will make them happy, while reality is literally going to come crushing down on them (and their bones).
Their active striving for this lethargic non-existence and rejection of actually dealing with and solving problems is what's differentiating them from the casual middle aged dude with a potbelly and it's the main reason I'm utterly disgusted by them.

I really enjoy it when the girl is taught lessons.
