What is the meaning of life?

Apparently the youth are using social media to find the meaning to life. So said one of my professors who then went on about some guy named Victor. What I have noticed is that my friends- who can be called morons who are still clinging to adolescence a.k.a youth- write blogs and in those blogs many have written what some may call poems. I call it the longer form of the SMS- Short messages and smut.

This also completely ruined my hopes of becoming a fricking poet. Now everyone is rhyming their shitty thoughts-

The rain was falling down
I was wearing a gown
My thought like drops do splash
Reminding me that I am trash


I wrote that in about a minute and now the blogosphere rewards me with positive comments and sharing's of my posts. Hallelujah! But my professor has a point. Having written about my trashy frustration in a poetic- albeit SMS manner- I go beyond the dictum- I think, therefore I am. It is now I think in a public forum therefore I can affirm my existence and proclaim meaning and hence 'purpose' of my screwed up life.

I am considering starting an instagram account. I have this picture to connect to my 'what is the meaning of life?' post. This streak of light is transient. But now it exists in my blog, it gets a sort of immortality. It lives forever and its meaning has extended beyond the microseconds that it existed.
