Life, the Universe and Everything!

After pondering this question daily for 60 years I have finally solved the greatest question. I know what life is all about. I finally know the real answer to all of life's mysteries, big and small, economic, political, spiritual, and material. I finally know exactly what you and I should be doing and how we should be doing it. And with this realization comes the even deeper realization that the answer cannot be shared. This is something that can never be a "movement" or an "organization" or, goddess forbid, a "religion". Those who find it will know it when they find it. But if, after finding it, you try to give it to someone else, they will not recognize it, and so it does no good to try to share it. So to avoid wasting my time and yours, I won't even try to tell you what it is. But I'll tell you what it isn't. ...

On second thought, no, I won't tell you what it isn't.

10. Is this the ode?
O Tom, o bugblatter, bugsplatter,
thou sprayest and schpritzest
thy venom far and near,
do not delay glorping your
drooling splortz through
pnac vorpally but
blat thy eternal dreaded
corpcontribs past blorking
ethixrulez
as congrix snorps
comatosely.

13. The meaning of life is easy...
To understand and evolve one's own spiritual self (i.e. soul, whatever) through connections with other people. We are an interwoven web of humanity (as well a part of life as a whole, the Earth, ect.) and must act accordingly.
