Attention or effort toward the ultimate good, concern for the well-being of the world
Just as we have the ability to run scenarios in our minds before making a decision, we humans are able to forecast the ultimate consequences of our choices and actions. Our forecasts may not be accurate. But we can and do adjust our behavior based on a concern for each other, for succeeding generations, and for our planet.
Some call this form of ultimate concern spirituality, even though spirits don't exist. Others label it altruism, even though other species display similar behaviors. A better term for this uniquely human trait is Ultimativity.

One of the values my partner shares with me is a strong ultimativity.
My ultimativity movtivates me to campaign against human-induced climate change.

Get the Ultimatemug. It is the highest of the high, the best, and the unreachable position. Therefore, it is absolute; the ending; final.
Here's an example quote from myspace.com/Bright503K
"Life’s an intricate puzzle. Every piece has its place. Everything happens for a reason. God, our creator, is the ultimate mastermind" --KL
