What are the sources of this sense of meaninglessness but also of the need for a sense of meaning?

-Every human gains this feeling of meaningless in their lives and they want to be able to cover up this meaningless with something else in the world. That's why when ever kids are young they always aim big for what they will do in their lives (president, actor/actress, singer, model, etc) you never hear a kid say they want to be a McDonald worker or a Stationary Engineer (Garbage Man). Meaning is defined as : Something that is conveyed or signified; sense or significance, But everything in this world can and can't have meaning, people just think they can get it by being "cool" or obtaining the "cool" job.

Albert Camus, a philosopher, argues about how people need to struggle in life in order to take away the meaningless in their lives, in order to "fill a mans heart". Like each person tries to fit into the category of "cool" and all one needs to imagine is a "smile" on their faces instead of thinking it as uncool, this will give everyone meaning in their lives but will also take away some meaning from other whom are considered "more cool". It is either make one a lot more happy than others or make everybody happy just a little. No matter what the purpose of life each person has they will always fall back to do what their "box" tells them to. Like sisyplus whom is comdemed to push a rock up a hill forever, but by thinking that he is not struggling but happy for doing this will give him a purpose in life and remove the meaningless that was placed on him.

" If a sign is meaningless, it is only because we have not given it a meaning, a grammar, a use -- a role in our language; it is only because we have left the sign undefined. It is for us to stipulate how a sentence is to be verified; and if a sentence is unverifiable, it is only because we ourselves have made it unverifiable -- by failing or refusing to stipulate how it is to be verified (Zettelour tool; we alone make the rules of the game. § 259). Language is " (Wittgenstein). Seeing that nothing in this world really has any meaning and it is just a word we use to describe the describable. This is a tool we use and no matter what it will always be a tool. The feeling of meaning is also a tool that humans use on each other and on themselves. Every thing in this world is meaningless/ meaningful, just on the perceptive, nothing really makes sense and nothing will ever make sense, even though we think it does. It is like this cool unit of how we turn something that makes sense into something that is questioning our very existence. this "meaning" is already there and will always be there, and we will never be able to truly understand it and "fix" it since there are no world, no sound, no images in this world that can truly understand each other and everything.
