 Nihilism is both a black and a white pill. You can take it as everything meaningless so you should do nothing (black pill). I take it as a white pill: life is meaningless so I can create my own meaning in life and find what I see as important and try to move that forward.

 We create our life, so if you create meaning in your life, life is not meaningless 😉 
 Once you have kids the meaning will hit you like a ton of bricks. You won’t ever ponder your meaning ever again. 
 Legacy. 
 Nihilism is really the black pill, the white pill you speak of is more like existentialism. 
 Black pill is way worse.
