The fundemental question anyone should try to answer in life is "Who am I?" Nothing comes out from life without getting answer to this question. Simply there is no point getting out of bed and eating your breakfast if you do not know who you are and why you are here. I am not talking about every label which adds to your name including the name itself. You, can be a successful lawyer, a criminal, a teenager, and adult, a painter a brick layer, an athiest, a Thiest or a priest. It doesnt matter whats your role is, what your next duty is. Do not distract yourself from finding your own existance from the questions of the society. Other than answer to the above question, and the effort in finding the answer to the above question, everything else is the agenda of the society. You eat, because you need to survive until you know answer to the above question. It only feels rational to me. "What should I do?" or "How can I be happy?" is secondary to the question "Who am I?". Even the Mathematics, even your work, even the greatest question of helping others, are just secondary to above.

Infact I wouldn't mind you doing anything you have to do to arrive at the answer. You may have to become a professor in philosophy, or a counselor in Psychology. You may have to win a Gold medal, or read 1000 books. You may have to Ski from the mount everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench to know who you really are. You may need a billion dollars or go to prison. Im not sure what it is, but make sure you have enough physical and mental capacity thoroughout this short existance called life, just so you do not miss the opportunity to understand it. Here is a truth that I have understood in words, written profoundly as possible. I would value a life spent only few minutes after knowing the answer to the "Who am I?", than a life which is 120 years long and the most successful CEO of the world for 60 years in a row. I know not most of the people would agree as they are still blinded by the words of abstraction about our existance. Simply put, majority have no idea about the artificial games we play in this so called advanced society. We have created so many layers of abstraction, rarely someone cares about fundemental truths about life. When they do, mostly its to impress some facebook followers. Not to understand their own life Genuinely.
Its just simple logic.
So, what are the words of abstraction which Hides the truth of our existance?
I would say Every word, ever said, every word ever will be said. Simply our languae is an abstraction, including the mathematics. Awareness on the otherhand simply directs us to our experience, which is our subjective reality. But as you can see there is a huge problem. We cannot share our views without words. We cannot function in modern world if not for our language. It is the communication which has made us survive in a co-operation, not only in our concrete jungles called cities, but also in caves when our ancestors were hunter-gatherers.

If you realy would like to know answer to the question, "Who am I?" you need to experience the life at first hand without words. How can I do that? One simple way is to observe the mind without prejudice. If you do this even for few minutes you will see, the mind is not at all silent. There are thoughts drifting like clouds. Sometimes on a rainy day, sometimes like in a sunny day. If you treat your thoughts as thoughts, created abstractions about reality by "Words". The existance is in between. Simply put, When you just observe, without effort, to make something out of it you will experence the pure existance without a name. It is going to be a profound experience for someone.
If you can identify this fundemental feeling of being as yourself, you may notice its qualities. Of course, its silent, there is no anger, there is no happy, there is no sad, there is no anxiety, there is no bordem, there is no fear, there is no anticipation. There is no thing at all, but that is only a thing that exist. Maybe, then we can try to answer the noise of the society, the problems which created on this canvass of nothingness.
