Matrix World
" Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.(In his left hand, Morpheus shows a blue pill.)
Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a red pill is shown in his other hand) You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
(Long pause; Neo begins to reach for the red pill)
Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.
(Neo takes the red pill and swallows it with a glass of water) "
Now, the movie matrix as such is designed to be a simulation of the real world, so u cant be like totally happy. But if i consider a small variation of the matrix world where you will have everything u want ( in my matrix u cant be unhappy), then wat wud u take the blue pill or red pill??
<< blue pill : stay in the matrix world , be happy
red pill : come to terms wit reality >>
I asked this question only to two ppl til now... Scoffes and my bro.. Both ( to my utter surprise) chose the blue pill..!! But why??
According to scoffes its cos " we are happy.. and wat is the goal of life but to be happy"...
My bro said smthg like " ya..its al in the mind.. but wat matters is only the mind.. "
I am puzzled really. I wud chose the red pill for sure. Even if i am most contended in the matrix i stil wud. Because i prefer reality to illusion. Yes, being happy is important but wats the point if its not real. Its jus a simulation.Yes , u can argue tat if the simulation is soo real tat u dunno the diff betn real and matrix , den wats the harm in staying in the matrix? But its like u r being an ostrich and buryin your head into the sand. You are denying reality. Living in a make believe world.
Also,being happy al the time wud get boring. Happiness is after al relative. Anyways , I am curious to know the opinion of everyone on this issue. So plz comment away..

Whats the pleasure in having an ice cream in the dream ???
hey! i know ur supportin me.but still.. u WIL have pleasure in havin tat icecream bcos u wil nt feel it any diff frm the real one..cos al ur senses wil be stimulaed..
tats not my point.. mine is tat even tho u do get pleasure( mayb of the highest degree ) in the matrix., u stil choose the red pill. cos like u said realty is truth.
i dunno hw many ppl wud do the same, given this. but , i stil wud take the red pill!!
the red pill... how long can you stay happy? whats the fun of being happy if you dunno what sadness is..? when you experience that, ur happiness doubles..
far better than perennial utopia..
anu dear.. agree with u totally.. my thots exactly!!!
i'm not sure if i'm allowed to present my views again .
but , " its all in the mind baby !! "
and who told this is reality ?!
well therz no point tellin wht u wud take after knowin what is gonna happ or what really is the matrix... the 2 people u had asked am sure wud hav taken the red pill if they had been in neo's position.. coz of their curiosity.. i wud hav taken the red pill if i had not known wht the matrix is.. but on the other hand if u ask me nw as i knw everythin i wud def take the blue pill.....
na..u know they say curiosity kills the cat..i dont mind dying but i have to find out wats really happenin.as u say happiness wont have any real meaning if u are happy all the time...and anywaz, cats have nine lives...so i ll live to talk about it:)
