The void of value and the price of nihilsm (thoughts/unformulated)

Everything's bad, never enough, the basics of life seem to have been forgotten.

I think when you deconstruct all values and take away the meaning of everything you are left with nothing. Nietzsche said this would happen and he was utterly right. Politics and culture replaced religion in terms of values, the issue being that it's a constant living experiment with no cohesion and it leads people to nihilism or extreme ideologies.
It feels as if people are more fractured and disconnected than ever, it feels unnatural in a sense.

I feel as though so many people have nothing to inspire them forward, give them meaning, no sense of spirituality or purpose other than seeking external fulfillment. Which is difficult especially now in a world so fractured where much of what our parents had is seemingly more difficult to attain.

If I could believe in religion I'd probably be happier, I try and live to those values regardless or at least I can truthfully say I value those values as they exist.
I find myself heading down that path as I see it as the missing piece to myself, the want or vessel to which virtue can manifest.
