Douglas Adams wrote 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' in which he added a central joke that has become more famous over the years than the novel itself: "The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything is #42." Geeks have since wasted years and massive effort trying to ascribe some deep, symbolic significance to the number and its occurrences. Now, in an attempt to cash in on their obsession, a new book published this week, 42: Douglas Adams' Amazingly Accurate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, looks at real-life occurrences of the number 42. The book is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Adams's death this spring.

| This is life |
I had never been a really deep thinker about life. We come on this planet with certain abilities and with a promise to keep and leave with those abilities enhanced or diminished and that promise fulfilled to a greater or lesser degree. We may need to visit again in another life. We may need to come back many, many times. Life is what one makes of it. Life is what others make of it. Life is about learning new things every single day. Life is about learning new things. Life is learning about things that did not go as one planned. Life is about letting go off past experiences that might have hurt us in some ways. Life is seeing things in a different perspective, taking one day at a time.
Sometimes we do not like the way things turn out but have to accept things as they come. But it is imperative to cherish life because life is not guaranteed. Life is beautiful and it is up to us to make it that way. some say treating people how you want to be treated, helping people, and most of all..living for Jesus so we can all be together in Heaven someday .may be heaven some day meet jim morrison and the dead. im not a beliver of heaven and angels lets talk about death heaven and angels later .i say that life is all about experiences. I think that you are here to have experiences and from those experiences learn how to better do two things: the first is to learn how to learn and the second is to learn how to love. The second is many times more important than the first. You came here as a volunteer, an exceptionally brave soul that wished to become more. Not all souls dare come here. This is a very difficult environment, very challenging, but the learning is much more rapid here -- so it is worth it. Think of life as a river. It really isn't important how many miles you flow on that river but the richness of the experiences you have along the way. The experiences and the love is all you will take with you -- everything else stays here.
