Nietzsche wasn't able to actually cross the threshold of realization and actualization. Life IS meaningless. There is no such thing as a molecule of justice. There is no such as an atom of mercy. You cannot manufacture hope, and you cannot construct empathy. Where Nietzsche went wrong is that he stood at the abyss, and blinked. He did not have the ability to go any further, which is why he was ultimately obliterated by despair, drugs, and syphilis. Feel free to quote me on this, because I've been telling people this for years:
Life has no meaning, so it is up to us to give life meaning.
Whether it's kneeling before an altar, going to third-world countries to give villages contraception, or creating lewd artwork of tiny colorful horses, every person has to give their own existence meaning. That doesn't mean everyone is alone, but it does mean that everyone has to find what makes them happy for themselves. The easiest way to find what really makes a person happy is through experience, and experiences are earned by expanding one's social connections, whether they're business partner or friends.
The happiest and most successful--not most wealthy, not most influential, but PERSONALLY SUCCESSFUL--individuals have parents that push them to try new things, supportive friends who dare them to test their limits, and managers above them who are chasing their own dreams and showcase what determination looks like. Humans learn from both experience and observation. You can't feel the icy wind slicing your face while skiing by watching the Olympics, and you can't dream of a better future when one dulls the pain of existence through self-medication as time continually slips you by.
Learn from Friendship is Magic that every one has a special skill, but that special skill won't show up until you, and you alone, find it. To help you find it, make friends, spend time with your family, and do something, ANYTHING, to occupy your time instead of wallowing in despair, waiting for life to happen.
Life is MEANINGLESS, but YOUR LIFE doesn't have to be. "Life" won't reveal any secrets to you because it has none to share. YOU have to give life meaning. If you decide that "this is it" and give up, then that's it. You stared into the abyss, and blinked, and now your life, not just "life" itself, is meaningless.
