Informal writing #2

     "The Matrix" was a very popular and famous science fiction movie from 1999. I have seen "The Matrix" berfore when i was a child who was studying at elementary school. On my fuzzy memories, I was not fully understand about the movie. I just remembered someone can jump very high and very quick reaction. If someone ask me about "The Matrix", I will tell him/her i only focused on the action of the plot like kung fu. I do not know what is the movie's plot in detail. I only knew about some of protagonists have had super powers.
     But last Thursday in HUMI class. I had a chance to watch "The Matrix" again. It was refreshing my memories of the movie. I was concentrated to watch it by detail. The protagonist who's name call Neo was a computer hacker has been living in a normal life, until he touched with mysterious person Morpheus.  Morpheus took him to the "real world": AD 2199, advanced artificial intelligence from the whole world ruled by machines. Machine to create a simulated environment - The Matrix (the mother) used to control human beings, and humans absorb energy from. Morpheus with his life time to find the "savior"(The One) to destroy the Matrix and lead humanity to overthrow the rule of the machine and rebuild the Earth. He believes that Neo is the savior.
      How could Neo go to the "real World"? Morpheus gave him two pills, one is blue, other one is red. And Mprpheus told Neo " You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
    I stop and think about that a while. I think I would choose to take the red pill. Because of I knew that was not a "real world" I have been living. It was not because of my curiosity. Even thought I can have my normal life and still study in college in "fake world", I do not want to manipulation by others. Living in an imaginary world is totally meaningless. I am living because i have had the feeling of presence. Even 2199 is an unknown to me, even terror and unimaginable. We must face to it. In my position, mainly because I did not want to live in the fictional world. However, the "fake world" is very beautiful place and graceful environment to living it. If you know you are living in a "fake world". Would you still choose to live in there? Human life is very short, if you are lucky, maybe able to survive for several decades. If 10, 20, 30 years later, the "fake world" disillusioned. Will you regret you did not choose to enter the "real world"?
    I don't know is that a right choice to take a red pill. I don't know whether it is difficult to imagine the "real world". But I am sure I will not regret my choice. I would like to true to feel my exist, even if only a day.
