    Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what’s actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, “Hang the sense of it,” and keep yourself busy. I’d much rather be happy than right any day.

      Great quote, but missing a rather crucial bit at the end:

      “And are you?” “No. That’s where it all falls down, of course.” “Pity”, said Arthur. “It sounded like rather a good lifestyle otherwise.”

      That is such a hard lesson learned; being happy rather than right. It’s one I’m trying to learn more and more, and it has helped.

      RIP Douglas Adams. He was an intergalactic treasure. 👍 🦏
