So we exist and don't exist at the same time. But the pain and suffering feels so real.

Even a blade of grass has an angel that makes it grow
So too, every drop of water. There is rotate v'shuv for us all AND for every blade of grass, drop of water, every created being. Each creation has its "tafkid", it's "raison d'etre", purpose. We all, all people, animals, even every blade of grass and drop of water not only has its purpose but also comes from up there, descends and returns up there. The ruchnious powers us all. We know that ourselves there's olam hazeh and olam habaah. This is also true that every drop of water starts up there, comes down as rain fulfilling it'd purpose to irrigate the land and quench thirst. Then it flows down rivers to the ocean and rises "up there" by evaporation only to return again ad infinitum. The difference between people and those creations that have no free will is that the latter are recycled without reward or punishment because there never was free will, never fulfillment of their purpose (mitzvos( and no punishment. But the eternal recycling of the G-dly spark of vitality continues. An exception is when any human is reincarnated as a creature that has no free will. Looking at it this every drop of water also performs "rotzeh v'shuv", i.e. goes up and down.
