If the universe were just electrons and selfish genes, meaningless tragedies. . . are exactly what we should expect, along with equally meaningless good fortune.

The number of people who could be here, in my place, out number the sand grains in the Sahara. If you think about all the different ways in which our genes could be permuted, you and I are quite grotesquely lucky to be here. The number of events that had to happen in order for you to exist, in order for me to exist. . . we are privileged to be alive and nd we should make the most of our time on this world.
