Life without meaning is a philosophical and potentially theological challenge. Life without purpose is self destructive.
In many ways the meaning of life is an unnecessary distraction. However people do need a purpose, whether that is work, family, friends, altruism as examples.
Find someone searching for the meaning of life and you can offer them many alternate paths from religion, faiths and self actualisation. Find someone searching for their purpose in life and it is all you can do to keep them alive.
