Sorry to be so simplistic but it is an answer to the question (just not a very good answer)
Nothing has no being, so it is entirely meaning, but meaning cannot give being. Perhaps the majority of our lives is given to the nothings of morality. Justice is a nothing, and so is peace, and freedom and truth. These moral nothings do not work for humanity because of what they are, but because of the meaning we attach to them. thanks
