On 'Why does the universe exist?'

The answer to the question - why does the universe exist? - is the desire for companionship, the desire to love and be loved in return. It is not good to be alone. The universe exists for love. Naturally the universe is not the universe. The universe is self. Self exists out of the desire for companionship, the desire to love and be loved in return. The purpose of self is love.
