I’ve been seeing this philosophical question popping up lately and I don’t understand the question even after Googling the explanation.

It’s a provocative question to make you believe, there is some urgent need to ponder “why things exist at all?”. Typically it’s asked with the belief that this question is the most important one of all, and even frame the question in such a way as to give you a narrow set of options as to what to believe about it. They could have asked “Was there a beginning to our Universe?” or “Is there an end if we trace all causations back in time?”, but no it quietly dismisses any alternative to shoehorn preexisting ideas into how the world works. We often tried this, so far always failed, but hey, maybe *this* time our silly human projections onto the Universe will be true.
