The answer my friends is 42, here is how! The world is just a swarm of people who are constantly fighting with themselves to become what they are not. The young wanting to be old, the old wanting to be young. The thin wanting to be fat, the fat wanting to be thin. The famous wanting to be unknown, the unknown wanting to be famous. The religious wanting to be non religious, the non religious wanting to be religious. The smoker wanting to quit, some one else wanting to pick it up. So on and so forth.
There is always another person getting into the position you are getting out of. This equilibrium is what keeps the Earth going round! Its just a torrent of people flowing to the other bank with a glimmer of hope that they can afford a better view of the big picture from there, only to realize that its not all song and dance there either. When they find out that its the same movie playing there too, they decide to flow to another location yet again hoping for a better view. Nobody ever learns, what you are seeing now is "the picture", the only picture there is to be seen. Yet, it is this very hope that keeps lives ticking! You are compelled to put yourself through the futile exercise of confirming for yourself that there isn't a place with another movie playing.
Now, 42 is the point where one realizes that there is only one movie and makes peace with himself and mellows down. People beyond 42 reflect back on all the time they wasted trying to come to terms with such a simply fact and whinge about all the scenes they missed when they were moving around, while the other half of the equilibrium are in a delirium to find their 42. What is this 42 you ask? Its your seat for the movie my friend, find one sit back, crack open a soda and enjoy. Some say its 42 because its nine times six. Six and Nine being the the two opposites (in every sense of the word), the yin-yang. I really wouldn't know! :)
