Silly one-liners

Call me cynical, but I gotta say this. People have so little meaning in their own lives, that they hang on to the silliest one-liners and make it out to be some life-defining statement. Maybe its the clutter of the internet revolution, but I see the silliest one-liners on people's status messages on chat and networking websites. Why not just say what's your status? That's what a status message is! I've noted that especially in India (and my sample set is only India and US), people keep throwing one-liners and spend hours discussing those, like it's going to change their lives overnight. Words are to be lived, not just spoken, passionately discussed and forgotten - tell that to the "Argumentative Indian"!
