"benefiting from existence" is a circular and meaningless expression.

If something is a benefit to me, that implies necessarily that its 
absence would be a loss to me. But if my existence were absent that 
could not be a loss to me, because there would be no me to lose anything.

The only way that the concept "benefit from existence" can begin to make 
sense semantically is if one assumes a pre-existent state which is less 
desirable than existence.

You do not deserve all the attempts people have made over the years to 
help you grasp this.
