To think God would create a world where nothing bad happens is the most naive way to think

I am sure God could have created a life with only good. It would be like always winning. Then what meaning does winning really have. And even consider that in tragedy often great things come out of it. Not that I am saying it's good. But there is more to think about in this area

As a non-theist, non-dualist Buddhist, I agree with the OP in my own way.

That there is [i]something[/i] rather than nothing speaks to me of ultimate meaning, purpose, significance. Rather than an ultimately meaningless virtually random swirling of atoms - or whatever the latest smallest particle is. Where the only meaning is the projection of it onto a meaningless external reality by a consciousness that is alone in the Cosmos, yet one that thrives on finding meaning.

Meaning is inherent to Reality.

Very much from all my own explorations support this.
