"is it happiness or sufferings?"

Or maybe it's just a big cloud of gas, compacting into mass, exploding and growing into a universe. Maybe we think we are so incredibly grant but we're just part of a historic cause and effects chain that's still going. Maybe we want a reason but there is none and what we really want is the feeling of making a lasting impression on the world, or having something to work towards. But it's all just happenstances and probabilities.

I'm sure you can find a thousand answers but never underestimate the power of Occam's razor if you wanna find the most probable one.
