Interesting concept that purpose precedes life and that main purpose is love. True fulfillment is found through devoting and living to love. Wholeheartedly agree. I would say most who are happiest and live the most fulfilling lives are the ones whose purpose is to serve others in a positive way, which is generally done through love.
Chasing the feeling of being happy to fulfill your purpose I believe causes the opposite. Feelings and emotions fluctuate due to many factors. No better example than those who tie their purpose to getting ahead of everyone else at all costs because they feel once they reach the top they’ll be “happy” and their purpose fulfilled. Yet unless they are a Sociopathic Narcissist, all they feel at the top is empty and unhappy. You could say they lost their purpose as they conquered what they had to but tied their purpose to conquering rather than to loving. And these actors either change their ways to seek to provide value to life leading to fulfillment, or side to end their own life. We do instinctively know that love is foundational to purpose. Is the main reason for love being so fulfilling towards furthering our human species and genes?
A question that also comes to mind, is there a line where to much love challenges the purpose of fulfillment? Loving so much and become so attached it leads to a never ending cycle of un fulfillment? Most likely, everything in moderation to keep balance. How important is balance to our purpose and fulfillment?
