“The chances of finding out what's really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.”
— Douglas Adams

Simplified Meaning:
Understanding everything about the universe is incredibly difficult and maybe even impossible. So instead of worrying about figuring everything out, it's better to focus on what we can do each day. Imagine trying to understand every tiny detail about how a car engine works. For most people, that's too complicated. Instead of stressing out about it, you might decide it's better to enjoy driving the car and keep it maintained without knowing every detail inside it. In life, keeping busy with activities we find meaningful can make us happier than trying to uncover every mystery out there. In other words, it’s okay to not have all the answers and instead enjoy the ride.
