Current psychological research seems to indicate that humans are born with their personality fully formed and their "true nature" already determined by their inheritance. Based on this idea, it is my opinion that it is your task in life is to find out "your own true inner nature" and to do "what you were born to do."This idea was "proven" by comparing the results of two studies on: "Identical twins separated at birth" and "Unrelated adoptive children raised their entire life in the same family."
Using the Briggs Meyer personality profile, they found that the Identical Twins had a much "greater than random" similarity in personality. On the other hand, the adoptive children showed no more similarity in personality than total strangers. The results of these two studies seems to indicate that our personality is largely determined by our genetic inheritance. Therefore, you are born already knowing who you are and your job is to just convince your parents and the world of that fact (or else succumb to their continual mind numbing propaganda to become an obedient robot zombie)
This idea is explained more completely in the book
