What IS the "MATRIX ? "
If you knew about the life of the "Real" would you take the red pill or blue pill?
What if you could never come back ?
What if you were stripped of all your greatest possessions, given another "system" of rules to live by...where "hope" was nothing more than a pipe dream...?
Would you still venture into THAT rabbit hole ?
A place where the terms "Mass Transit" , literally mean more people in an exponentially decreasing space.
It would mean, the idea of treating yourself to a meal was putting up a few more cents to move from a TUNA to a CHICKEN sandwich....with fries please.
A place where all around you you see the glory and spoils of those who can now afford to "jack-in." Fancy cars, designer clothes, the fine-dining, and gaudy trips to exotic lands, which are ...INDEED...only in your dreams or delusions of grandieur.
This world...the world "jacked-in" ...is no longer yours, no longer applicable, only the cheapest materials and best " imitations " make it to your home. The very foundation of beliefs you stand on are not yours, they are simply..."passed down" because...Hey..."that's just how it is."
The succulent dinners you were used to "in the Matrix", large portions of the best harvested crops, hearty cuts of healthy meat, and a rainbow of colors in refreshments and desserts....and "leftovers" ( which are safe to eat of course).....are now all part of another life.
You will eat bread now, with some pasta on the side. You have to choose from the vegetables that seem to have been picked over and left for scraps. Sweets, pops, pastries...you want them? Sure you can have them! But it will cost you, and not just the dental work of correcting your nasty little habit. In the REAL....it will cost you. Today...maybe it's just bread for breakfast...and maybe it's lunch for the next day. Mayb, it will cost you lunch and breakfast fo rthe next 2 days.
And travel? Ha !
God forbid you'd have to miss the bus, and/or have to take taxi's. You will get home...no problem, but you now run the risk of not being able to afford to get to work in the morning, and now, you can forget about the "special" Friday lunch, or even "tuna", for the rest of the week...you are not eating more bread and pasta...for lunch and dinner. It is probably best to to skip the "sauce" as its a day too old, so you just through some oil and salt over it...and it'll be ok.
WHAT IF...you had a family? OH yes ! Make your own food?! Right?! OF course you can, but the benefits you see in your dreams, will never come to reality.
You are completely on your own now.
Well, you could become a farmer? Land is "relatively cheap" and there are government sanctions for it!
OH...wait...the land...is grossly unfertile. Not to include any bouts with famine, drought,blizzards, or floods.
BON CHANCE !
And at the chance you do have a good crop, you'd better make sure you can afford a good enough vehicle to transport the crops to the market before the harvest goes bad, adn by the way, if you're female...it's not your place to do this work, adn in some cases to even drive ! So you can just stay at home with the children.
Wait.
Children ?! Don't tell me you have children?!
You are already eating bread and pasta ! What kind of nourishment will you bring to your babies? How will you raise healthy babies?
Well, let's say that you do find a way raise the children...how healthy will they really be ? How can they....will they grow physically? And what will they learn? How will they expand themselves mentally?
You have a boy and a girl. Men are a blessing, and women are a gift...one that is to only be kept in the "box" until they can support themselves, or just find someone who can support them. This is normal...this is " just how it is, " and "what everyone does."
NO.
You will be different, you will teach your children, something different...something new. They are, after all, your children but...what will you tell them...what will be so different ? You are barely supporting yourself, and you only know what your parents , who had as much experience as you do, and of course the "all-knowing" public...who always know what's best...because..."that's just the way it is."
If you raise your children outside of the "system", the society will reject them and shame your family's name...just for being..."different," neither good or bad...just different.
So which path do you choose ?
Would your really want to take the "red pill" now ?
Well let's say you can "sample" the Real...Would you? And for how long ? How long is enough until you go running back to the "blue pill."
Will you try to change the lives of those around you? Or will you just throw them your "change."
You have your blue pill...so why should you care ?
You can go back.
And you will get your "life" back.
In the end, it was all just a dream...right??
What if you could never come back ?
What if you were stripped of all your greatest possessions, given another "system" of rules to live by...where "hope" was nothing more than a pipe dream...?
