The Meaning of Life

I remember meeting an amazing little girl a couple of decades ago - she was not quite 4 years old. When asked the meaning of life she looked pensive a moment then answered "42" - as though it couldn't possibly be anything else. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such clarity just once? To know without question what you believe is the only true answer?
I wonder where that little girl is today. All grown up by now. Has she's discovered other absolutes along the way?
