Oh, was that the point of my original post? I hadn't realized. Thanks for pointing that out!
Actually, I don't believe any objective morality exists, period. My post was asking, "who says there has to be a goal" father- or otherwise? -- as if it is just an undisputable fact that we must have goals. I don't see the necessity of goals, except in the most basic of ways, such as reaching for an apple. I think it's funny that people believe thoughts like, "But you
have to have a goal!" (or any other thought, come to think of it!) as if it were The Truth.
I see goals more and more as mere, secondary signposts, little game flags that give me a fun signal about who I'm being. The being is the primary part. But that's not The Truth!
