Any good thing that I do and that other people find meaningful is something that is meaningful because it touched other people in an apparently beneficial way rather than it being some deed of cosmic significance. I find that kind of pleasant.

I think that is a good reason to forsake the emptiness of nihilism. If there were no intrinsic meaning in life, then attributing meaning to it and getting pleasure from it would seem highly desirable and itself meaningful.
