since there is no definite answer to existence, it might be more valuable to think about the consequences our response truly has on our lives
the question "why do we exist?" is quite pointless and not worth an answer. but it could be reworded to genuinely provide value to our lives: "why should I exist?". the question is shifted from absolute to relative and starts having concrete implications. i personally don't find much value in absolutes.
the answer is relative and depends on each person but it can be generalized using human nature. humans are naturally social: we wish to escape the curse of individuality through relationships between others. and we tend to thrive in spiritual harmony with others. their existence must validate and complement your own individuality. maybe then happiness follow as it is observed to?
what path should the theoretical dissonant person follow? is there still a path towards happiness? why should a person that cannot connect with anyone live. are they even human even if they long for connection? I don't think there is a point in aiming for some concrete absolute metric when the agonizing isolation makes it all pointless. can happiness truly be found in the sensations and experiences within a conscious mind? what if there are no sensations?
but take my questions with a grain of salt im just a sunflower
