Fulfillment is the degree to which a given experience increases the actual wellbeing of a person. Notably, because wellbeing is multi-dimensional, fulfillment is multi-dimensional. Thus, eating a meal will be fulfilling, but a healthy meal will be more fulfilling and a healthy meal eaten in conviviality with your community will be yet more fulfilling.
There is thus a hierarchy of fulfillment whereby a given experience will be more fulfilling than another if it more fully satisfies your actual requirements for wellbeing and, in particular, if it enhances not only your wellbeing but also your *capacity* for wellbeing.
