"Il ne me semble pas que cet univers fantastiquement merveilleux, cet éventail immense de temps et d’espace et de différents types d’animaux, et toutes les différentes plantes, et les différentes conditions, et les différentes étoiles devraient exister uniq"

Simplified Meaning:

The quote is saying that the universe and everything in it – from the plants and animals to the stars and galaxies – is too vast and complex to exist just for one person. Imagine looking up at the sky at night and thinking that all those stars and everything on Earth were made just for you. It doesn’t make much sense, right? It’s more likely that the universe just exists on its own, without any special purpose for any single person. Just like how a big city is not built for one person but for millions of people to live their lives, the universe is probably here for all of us equally, not any one individual. Understanding this can help us stay humble and realize that we are part of something much bigger, rather than the center of it all. It can also remind us to appreciate the world around us and our place in it, without assuming it all revolves around us.
