The purpose exists before the triumph, wheter it's frustrated or not, but that goal that you want to achieve (notice that I'm talking about goal like purpose, and not cause like purpose) is always there.
    Listen well my young deciple. That is not a phrase of Nietzsche's, not exactly. But that is something I got from reading philosophy. Everything has an expiration date, and everything will collapse no matter how powerful. If you are to find purpose you will look for it in the heavens but you will not recieve an answer. So what are you to think? You are to make your own purpose, but that will be something that you will only 'think' you have accomplished. So in a way purpose is another semantically contradictory annoying word like 'time' or 'good'. They are only useful so long as you live with other people and think for the group.

    If the rebelion triumphs then it is still worthless, for it will establish itself and then another rebelion will spring up. You cannot end what is not possibly an end, for there is no end to timelessness.

    An elaboration on what I've said. By the way, BP, what purpose does this determination serve, if all purposes are not concreet?

    Sidenote: What's with you and the avatars with makeup?
