It's absurd from an ethical point of view, as a finality. I was implicitely talking in the context of pursuing "important goals", that is, valued on an ethical basis. Abnegation at some level is an important part of most religious doctrines.
What prediction about the world can you make from these beliefs? What would be less - or more - surprising to you than to those with typical beliefs here?
Ethic is not about predicting perceptions but conducting actions.
