Now, it is true that such a person might have devoted themselves so completely to a ‘cause’ that they are willing to suffer for it and for nothing else, in which case they are possessed of a certain integrity. But, because they justify that cause in purely social terms (and not in supernatural terms), their suffering will lose its meaning if ever their cause finds its fruition, and still they suffer; or if ever that cause is shown to be unjust, or produces unforeseen results that they regret. In such instances they will despair. Because that which had given them meaning will have had its limitations revealed.
