Modern life appears full of choice, mobility, and stimulation, yet it quietly produces a pervasive sense of meaninglessness. This paper examines the crisis of meaning as a defining experience of contemporary existence. It argues that the fragmentation of time, identity, and community weakens traditional sources of coherence and purpose. Drawing on existentialism, phenomenology, and recent cultural theory, the study explains how meaning becomes fragile in a world shaped by digital saturation, constant acceleration, and the fading of shared narratives. The crisis, however, does not signal the disappearance of meaning; it indicates that meaning is now more difficult to locate, sustain, and weave into daily life. By analyzing ordinary behavior and emotional states, the paper reveals how modern individuals navigate a world that often feels directionless. It also suggests slow, mindful practices through which meaning may gradually be reclaimed.
