What does "Life is unreasonable;so much the worse for all living things" mean?

"Life is unreasonable;so much the worse for all living things."

Does it mean all living things are even more unreasonable? Does it mean life is unreasonable itself, but it is even more unreasonable/incomprehensible for all living things? What exactly does this mean?

Thanks....

"so much the + comparative" is a set pattern. Another example: "If you prepare them first, then so much the easier for me." (i.e. your preparing them will make things easier for me).

By the way, there should be a space after the semicolon.
