A person's life has three metaphysical components: body, heart, and soul (soul is also referred to on occasion as spirit, mind or brain). A body is the vessel of a particular life and its other two components, carrying them around the world as a suite like real world multi-cellular life. A heart is the personality or mind of a particular life, making each individual person unique. Soul is the will to live, which makes it the driving force of all lives. The hearts, though, are the most valued by people, because hearts can live on in any old body.
People are always subject to two other driving forces of the cosmos: dark, and light. Dark is the
The plinth of the myth of the prophesied prince
was one of tempestuous fame;
The kind one could find in the testified times
of those with Rabbinical names.
Countless have tried and failed—and denied that they failed—
to capture in riddle and tome
with sights, and with sounds of concise contemplation.
More attempted and attested, ranted or railed…
Edict, prose, Edda, and poem;
Hyperbolic accounts of exaggeration.
The First Laylooliah was a slave who was freed
By recognition his master gave for a deed
(the act was forgotten, but not his tale).
The second prophet was drudge to the first,

Critique is a useful tool. I think in many respects it is among the most useful we have as a society. It is one of course correction, modesty, honesty, redirection, personal growth, insight, co-operation, learning, and so forth. It can also be unwarranted or exaggerated to say the least.

SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE SPOILERS
So, So Long And Thanks For All The Fish is basically my favorite Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy book, with Mostly Harmless coming in a close second. These two books are considerably drier, darker, emotional, slow, and grounded, and they end the series in a drastic way that I think nobody really expected, but that somehow avoids being a disappointment that many other WTF endings tend to be.
So Long is my favorite because it's the most unique book. In the same way that The Voyage Home is unique compared to what comes before, so is So Long And Thanks For All The Fish. They both are the fourth in their respective series, they both take place m

Why Is Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Good?
Why is Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home good? Is it because Leonard Nimoy directed it?
That's part of the reason. The script, direction, and editing are I think more important than the actor. Because it's the composition of the elements and ideas, which are mainly done through writing early on in the process, direction in the middle of the process, and editing at the end of the process And all of those things need to be in line with one another to develop a cohesive narrative. That's why there's good Nicolas Cage movies and bad Nicolas Cage movies.
That's why Titanic is so bland, because it doesn't know if it's a comedy or a drama or an action
