The end however is his execution, absurdity. Ends therefore are relegated to a place of scant value as a source of meaning in appraising life. However, it must be realized that while outcomes provide no direct value, they are the very things that allow for human values themselves. The goal of rebellion is not to destroy the absurd but is the goal itself, precisely how the aim of south is not to destroy north since it exists only in contrast to its antithesis, its only ambition is to be as best as it knows how. Mersault's objective is not to escape the consequences of who he is but to accept them with alacrity.
Ends are merely an absurd and often tragic milieu for intents.
If one is ruled by outcomes then they are simply bouncing from consequence to consequence which is hardly a conscious life, we become an object in some other world, the very thing Heidegger warned against. It is a call for independence from this ping-pong life that Camus communicates in his work above all. For the presence of absurdity does not abolish meaning from man's life but allows him free expression of it. Upon hearing this appeal and embracing it one can achieve genuine existence. For the first time one can really desire something since it doesn't depend on its possibility, truly love something since it doesn't depend on whether or not it loves us back, truly do good since it doesn't depend on reciprocation, truly fight since it doesn't depend on whether or not one wins and truly be who one is since it doesn't depend on their situation.
