blog.9

Many movies these days are trying to change the way we view our life style, trying to make us believe that this is not the reality, that there is something more that we don't  know making us search for answers to those many questions that we have. In the article "red pill or blue pill: ignorance is a bliss" Chistine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmsom explain how the films Matrix and Alice in Wonderland both live in a world of illusions. For example, how Neo from the Matrix has to decide what pill to take, if he takes the red one the story ends, he will wake up on his bed and he will continue his life the way it was before and if he takes the blue one he will stay in the real world. And in Alice case she was given a magic drink and cake that will make her shrink or grow to gigantic proportions to be able to step in a different realms.

I think we have  to live the life the way it is, even with the complications and obstacles of it,  instead of looking for the truth we have to survive in this world , our world the one that we were chosen to live. I don't think is fear that everything we know and everything we did it was just part of an illusion. For example a lot of people were born rich and after a crisis they lose all their money, after that they had to adapt to the new life style another kind of life that they never knew before. My father had a friend who lost all his money and had to go to the hospital for mental help, the adaptation to the new life destroyed him.

Another example will be that first kiss, the love of you life, the person that you got married and lived for those many years, how can you survive when you lost that part of you or when you find out that was just an illusion , it will be devastating for a human being, many people lose their partners after an accident or any circumstances of life and after that surviving that moment must be painful.
Last example that moment when you have kids, when you teach them how to walk, how to talk or when you take them to the school that fist day, it will be so sad if you find out that was just you imagination, that wasn't real just another illusion, like those parents that lose their kids and never find them , how can you survive to that pain? the feelings and love will be just an illusion?.

In conclusion we have to keep evolving , evolution is an slow process but day after day  we are getting the necessary tool to keep doing the best of us.
