Life and us are not hard. Statistics and the laws of physics.
Why do those exist? That is, why is the universe the way it is? We don't know enough to answer that. Well, maybe Steven Hawking does, and he's just not telling.
Re: sand. Quantization and quantification are different things.
Also, it's science's job to ask why to
everything, eventually. It's just a matter of picking out which questions actually have meaning, and proceeding in small enough steps that progress can be made. If you can't answer a question, put it aside and pursue questions that will lead you to your answer instead. Or entirely different questions. You never know.
