Why is it good that you exist and why should we care?

I ask this because I need to answer this question for myself and want to copy off your answers instead of actually introspecting.

    I exist because the world existed before I did. My existence is neutral, it is my actions that determine good or bad. I am capable of unparalleled compassion and kindness, but I’m also capable of unimaginable cruelty. Choosing not to care about these capabilities is why we have some truly terrible people throughout the world. Therefore it is my duty to care for myself and others around me, to reduce cruelty in the world.
