# What Do I Genuinely Want?

When you strip yourself from all the noise and replace your concept of 
identity with a clear view on your core self, you achieve a state of 
clarity with little conflict that I could best describe as a choiceless 
awareness. What matters at that point is merely what makes sense and 
becomes similar for everyone. It may express itself differently from 
person to person but as the laws of physics are the same for all of us, 
they also equally underpin the processes of our biology. This can be 
illustrated by how two individuals growing up together are able to learn 
the same language. We are very alike and that is why applying reason to 
shared knowledge brings about similar action. In the end, what we really 
want comes down to understanding what we are. And most of these answers 
can be deduced from our biology. The urge to reproduce, for example, 
evolved into our need to find a partner. Figuring out how to connect our 
biological purpose to our actions is what matters. And since there is a 
clear line to be drawn from stardust evolving to us we just need to follow 
up on that to understand our design. It explains why we are here and is 
wired into every single cell. These are the same patterns that allowed 
stardust to ultimately question itself. When looking at these existential 
questions such as the meaning of life, we do so through our own subjective 
lens. We come up with personalized answers just as we come up with 
rationalizations to understand our emotions. But it is only by having 
perspective and looking at ourselves from a bigger picture, a grander 
scheme, that we can really pinpoint the answers. Understanding this will 
bring about a clear and scientific moral compass with values that 
transcend esoteric and spiritual beliefs.
