I think if we were to build ‘Deep Thought v2 – The Faster Version!’ the answer to the ‘Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything’ would be balance.
It is quite literally (in my opinion) the single most important thing to get right in life. Find ultimate balance and you will live a content and fulfilled life.
Born in October, my view might be biased (I’m a libran) – but if you only do a quick search on Google for “Importance of Balance” and read both the normal search results and the scholarly articles.. you will see that pretty much every subject matter you can think of is mentioned and how important striking equilibrium is.
Balance is elusive… yet I believe trying to achieve balance is the pursuit of happiness.
