"整个自然界每年所遭受的苦难总量是任何体面思考所无法覆盖的。在一个由电子和自私基因、盲目的物理力量和基因复制构成的宇宙中,有些人会受伤害,有些人会走运,而你在其中找不到任何规律或理由,更不要说正义。"

Richard Dawkins

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine the world as a giant lottery where everyone, including animals, plants, and humans, participates without choice. Every second, countless living beings go through pain and hardship, much more than we can easily imagine or understand. Nature operates through random events and survival instincts without any intention or fairness. Just like how some people win the lottery by luck while others work hard all their lives without winning, life can be very unfair. These forces act blindly, meaning they don't care who gets hurt or who gets lucky—it's all random. In this chaotic system, expecting everything to make sense or be fair is unrealistic; sometimes things just happen without any deeper meaning or justice behind them. Knowing this, we can try to show more compassion and understanding towards others who are suffering, realizing it’s not always their fault.
