It is preferable to continue existing once one already exist

But what is the reason for that if not that existence is greater then not to exist.


Because we have a survival instinct that has evolutionary benefits. Dying means that people suffer. Not ever existing means no survival instinct and no suffering.

I don't. I hate birthdays and have asked people not to send me cards.
