Why is the wrong question.
How is the right one.
Why is a human construct. It doesn't have to have an answer.
But since this is what's being asked the answer is: There is no reason. Existence is what you want to do with it. It's a consequence of quantum reactions at the end of the day. If i must have a reason, it's the pursuit of Happyness.
And yes, i know that it's cruel that it is this way and people turn to Religion because of it, but that is weakness. It's refusal to accept reality and fall for fairy tales.
Oh, to answer some of the questions:
Our thoughts are electro-magnetic pulses through brain cells. In truth they may very well be the product of chemical interactions and we actually don't have any free will at all. Though, we do seem to have the ability to resist it... or do we? It may just be adaptation skills.
Others being real. Well... yeah, it can be a huge illusion, but we can safely say they are real in a non-scientific way by unpredictability. When someone talks to me about a topic i never heard before, i don't think my mind could have locked it away just for that precise moment. If it is, then daaamn, our brains would be devious and highly efficient to say the least. I don't believe my brain can do all that or i'd be a super intelligent amazing being (way more than i already am :D ).
After death... who knows? It's most likely the end of consciouness. But the atoms that compose us will live on and continue to be star dust. The universe is much much bigger than any of us. We are but a spec of dust in the wind.
I guess existance is not the weird thing. Because we are atoms, we existed before. Counciousness is the odd one... or illusion of?
Yeah, we are nothing basically. Just live your lives to the max. Find happyness. That's what life is about.
