There is meaning, it’s called learning which you seem to be stubbornly against and that is why you are unhappy. God has final say, not you and you are just spinning your wheels until you get to know Him.
You seem to be applying meaning by saying that the world is inherently evil.
The world is not inherently evil - it is simply inherently natural.

It consists of both good and evil.
