The question of «what is the purpose of life, and how do you know when you have fulfilled it» has been crossing my mind from time to time over the timespan of the past 5 months and up until today have I not have had an answer to that question.

Although today I feel that I have managed to create what would be a draft for my answer. I have decided on writing this down rather than saying it in a voice message in order to avoid unrelated rambling.

The short answer to the question «what is the purpose of life, and how do you know when you have fulfilled it» in my train of thought would be that it depends on an individual’s perspective entirely.
If I were to see my life’s purpose to consist purely of physical achievements and accomplishments which are visible to the naked eye, then I would say that I have not accomplished anything in my life so far.
On the other hand, if I were to tell you that my perspective on life’s purpose consists purely on how I have benefited those around me (in more ways than one). To have helped and supported the 20, 10, 5, or even 2 people closest to me, cherished them and made their bad days good, then I would argue that my life’s purpose has already been fulfilled and that whatever comes next is simply a bonus.

So you see, the question «what is the purpose of life, and how do you know when you have fulfilled it» does not seek out one objective solution, because a solution to this question does not exist. The answer is purely a reflection of one’s own current state of mind and perspective on the concept of human life.
