Well in that case, I don't know. This is basically like asking, why does something exist rather than nothing? Nobody really knows but it's interesting to think about.

Entropy is always increasing because entropy is basically a representation of the organization of things. Everything is constantly becoming more disorganized, and even when you organize things you have to disorganize the surroundings even more than you can organize them.

If you could violate entropy you could make machines that were 100% efficient or better and make perpetual motion devices, stuff like that which would be pretty awesome.
