Something bad must have happened to you or your society to have made you a nihilist.
If you have just realised that you are a nihilist, it must have been because of your atheism, which leads to nihilism. Denial of God's existence would naturally lead to an unwillingness to follow God's laws or any religious principles from which moral principles originate.
The moral vacuum of atheism can be filled by the monotheism of worshipping the most powerful deity conceivable - the Abrahamic God.
What if you doubt His existence?
You may doubt the existence of the Abrahamic God, but the existence of the *idea* of the Abrahamic God cannot denied. Even atheists who deny the existence of God cannot deny the existence of the *idea* of God. If God were a creation of Man, then He was created for a purpose and this purpose must have been to assist Man in his government, politics and law to keep his tribe, nation, empire and civilisation in existence and apart from others.
Error can in theory be corrected and lives and the direction of nations, empires and civilisations changed for the better or worse.
Can free will cure the degeneracy of nihilism?
