Is life really pointless?

You have to make your own point! There are thousands of things you can do with your life, job, career, ambitions, hobbies, pastimes, interests, pions, etc! Peoples pions drive them! People also fill themselves with things that make them content within, love, companionship, family, friends, social, children, spouse, partner, etc! Men in particular thrive with their career/job/money making ambitions. Than you have hunger, the appetite to eat, have , play, the pleasure of rest, sleep. The desire to carry on your family tree, and someday even retire and enjoy your grandchildren and take it easy in the golden years. All these things are not pointless and have much meaning. But some people struggle with mental and emotional difficulties, depression, and have a hard time seeing the world as good or positive. They take a negative viewpoint. There is always evil in the world and sin. People can be awful no doubt. But you have to carry on and find your purpose in the midst of an imperfect world!
