>This is rather insightful.
Thank you. It took a long time to realize and the realization of this truth can be extremely calming and promotes peace within you. This is because you can realize that your very body, your thoughts and feelings and emotions, everything about you, has a direct line of succession to the very first proto-cell that managed to replicate its structure using RNA code, somewhere deep under the ocean near a hydrothermal vent 4.2 billion years ago. You can finally understand exactly how you came to be, how many years your ancestors had to work hard to survive and pass on their knowledge and genetics. You can simultaneously thank them for their work and inheritance they gave you even all these years later, and also forgive them for their part in being instrumental in creating you at all.
It also reveals the fact that, because humans have a common ancestor only 155,000 years ago, that means that every single human is descendant from a single line that goes back from that one mother 155k years ago (somewhere in east africa) and goes backwards in a single line all the way to that first RNA proto-cell. Furthermore that includes far flung australian aboriginals, whose MRCA with an average european is probably closer to that one mother 155k years ago than not. Chances are likely that most of the people you know are more closely related to you than you might have realized. To put it as an example, there may be a mother who lived in Gaul in 300 BCE who is the grandmother for every single french person alive today. Imagine having 10 million great-grandchildren!
>I think existence is either a trap of some kind which we can't really comprehend.
We can comprehend it perfectly in fact and for that I will recommend you look into the teaching of Buddha specifically the 4 noble truths. As much as I've been arguing in this thread about genetics and inheritance, the truth is that everything comes from within, not without.
