One of my favorite responses to this question is from Philosopher Sidney Morgenbesser. As it is put on a wikiquote page (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sidney_Morgenbesser):

In response to Leibniz's ontological query "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Morgenbesser answered "If there were nothing you'd still be complaining!"
