Why does the world exist? The universe exists simply without a cause. It either emerged spontaneously or has eternally existed — that's a separate topic. Inherently, it possesses a self-organizing property but lacks a predetermined purpose. The universe is essentially a specific possibility for the birth and formation of various complex phenomena, including primitive intelligent life. Over time, these phenomena either get destroyed or cease to exist, while new ones may emerge. However, intelligent beings have the opportunity to extend their existence if they manage to harness the potential of their inherent qualities and the capabilities of their surrounding world. Fortunately, the potential of fundamental human traits and the opportunities offered by the physical world for flourishing are extraordinary, and it is our choice whether we reach the stars or regress into dissolution.
