What is the meaning of life?

[Guest round]

What is the meaning of life? How can someone, obsessed by this question, quit thinking about it?

{That answer will make sense only to fans of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but for them, I hope it makes it all clear.}

The more effort you put into not-thinking, the more power you give the thinking.

My suggestion is diversion: look out the window at some life, or look at pictures of nature, do deep breathing exercises, try to silence all thinking, whether for or against.

Life will go on whether you know its meaning or not. And perhaps that's part of the meaning.
