Everything can be explained by narrowing them down to concepts. I would go into a lot more detail but I hate typing out long ideals, because I feel
their a waste of reading time. I mean, who wants to read all day when the point can be made short and clear.
Anyways...your answers:
Everyone and everything perceives, forms concepts of their perceptions, and then tries to reproduce the concepts.
Grief, anger, and fighting arises when concepts are threatened.
Happiness, love, and bliss arises when concepts are affirmed.
Feelings, doubt, skepticism, and other mental disorders are our minds way of protecting its concepts.
One who is skeptical only wants affirmed concepts. One who is gullible doesn't care. However, they both want concepts, and they usually try to
reproduce said concepts once they have them.
That's it... that's the secret to life, the universe, and everything.
42 = concept (re)production
People who do not share their concepts are in protection mode. They fear their concepts may be threatened so they do not share them.
People do not talk about the real sht fan stuff, or rather, they down play it, because they're afraid it threatens the reproduction of their
concepts.
If you found out tomorrow that your wife has cheated on you and your kids hate your guts, and they now call the other man daddy, your happiness would
end and grief, anger, etc would step in. Your happiness is just your concept of "what's good", being affirmed to have been produced, but it's just a
fairy tale that exists only in the mind.
Which leads me to have to tell you... all concepts are fairy tales. The only difference in truths and fairy tales are the amount of people who agree
to share or affirm said concept.
And last but not least, humans aren't the only ones who suffer from concept production - it's not just a human thing. It shows its presence in all
existence.
42 is literally concept (re)production.
eta: sorry if that went way too deep, as you may have only wanted a superficial answer. I have a hard time stopping myself. :facepalm:
