Firstly, I did not ascribe teleology to everything it existence.

Secondly, it being more than my opinion does not make it absolute.

Thirdly, justifying the ascription of goal is what justifies it.

Fourthly, if your justification is based on the object itself rather than your wants and needs, then the ascribed teleology is objective - not subjective or absolute.

Why can't I do both?
