The perfection of joyful determination is defined as taking delight or feeling joy in doing something positive or virtuous.

If you must label the absolute, use its proper name: Temporary.

For none of the activities in question cares a straw for that faith or cause. It is like a return to early Semitic religion where names themselves were regarded as powers.
