"Why does this world have to be like this?" came the plaintive cry of some poor chap that I met the other day.

Well son, let's look at the way things have turned out so far. So far, the human race has gradually, yet continually, evolved into something that - in nature's relative terms - just happens to be rather special. We are what we are today as a result of millions of years of this so-called evolving. Thus, instead try asking "Why has this world always been like this?"
