If an existence's sole purpose is to serve as anti-existence to another existence, would the elimination of one existence also be the end of the other? If there is nothing to be the anti- of, after achieving the goal of eliminiation, what will be left?

Making your own meanings for life. Otherwise I'd think one'd become aimless far too quickly.

I'm merely thinking. Those whose purpose is something finite will lose their reason to exist after that duty has been fulfilled. Something continuous such as "protecting" might be the reason how people can justify their existence for so long.

Maybe. If you do a well enough job about it, protecting the people you care for is incredibly worthwhile.

That would require caring for someone, wouldn't it?

That's a kind of important part of it, yes. I'm sure there's someone out there you care about.

The only person I would protect with my life is not here.

I guess you can't call it caring and protecting, but I might just make it my duty to keep you out of trouble since you're so eager to throw yourself into it for others.
