A simpler form of the same objection consists in saying that death ought not to be final, that there ought to be a second chance. I believe that if a million chances were likely to do good, they would be given.

Summary

This quote suggests that some people believe that death should not be the end, and there should be an opportunity for a second chance. However, the speaker disagrees, stating that if having multiple chances could bring about positive change, then these opportunities would already be available. It implies that there is a purpose to the finality of death, and multiple chances would not necessarily lead to better outcomes.
