Hello everyone!
I've read the classic book: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" written by Douglas Adams.
This is one of my favorite book series of all time. It's just so out of the ordinary!
The book is a comdey science fiction that's part of a series of books written by Douglas Adams.
However "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" is the first book.
The reflection that I've choosen to give all of you is: "I'd rather be happy than right any day."
If we look at the phrase "Ignorace is bliss" which means: lack of knowledgement results in happiness.
For example how can I be sad about the economy if I know nothing about it. The question that I would like to ask all of you is: Would you be happy than right? Would you like to live in a world and not no anything about everything? It would atleast make me alot more comfortable in everyday life, not to have to worry about everything all the time.
We are always being exposed to negative information through media, when was the last time you heard good news on TV or read it in the newspaper. When I read a newpaper I always try to find the part where the positive news printed. But sadly alot of times there are none. My opinion is when you are being bombarded with bad news all the time you will get effected by it.
I think that this is the highlight that Douglas Adams tries to inflict on his reades and make us understand how Arthur(the main character in The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy) feels since he is constantly bombarded with bad news. Since Arthus is kind of a smartass, he thinks that he is always right.
If you haven't read this book I highly recommend that you read it. It's a masterpiece it's so unorthodox and its very very good. I hope some of you will atleast play with the thought of rather being happy than right.
Good bye!
