My favorite movie of all times is The Matrix. I like the movie not only for the amazing special effects and action scenes, but for it’s insight in human condition. I believe we live in the Matrix. I believe the Matrix is very real.
We may not be the unconscious batteries living in the delusion of the programs created by the machines, but we live in the delusion of the rules and belief systems created by our parents, teachers, colleagues, bosses, and society designed to control us.
It’s a delusion because we’re not living the life according to our true self. We’re not listening to our inner voices because we’re taught our own voices are wrong and inappropriate.
So we live the life of others, a program created by others, because of the fear of being wrong and outcast.
My mission in life is to listen to my own voice as much as possible and follow my instincts.
Whenever I do this, I always feel good about myself eventually and I get the glimpse of the freedom of being outside the Matrix. It’s a hard thing to do, but it’s worth it every time. I never lose when I trust myself.
