RR #8

I would take the red pill. At least I would like to think that I would take the red pill anyway. I don't really know what I would choose, but I would like to think of myself as being adventurous and not ignorant. I want to know what I want to do in life. Therefore, as I said before, I do not want to be ignorant. I think it would be exciting to take a pill and "magically" see what your life would be about, but at the same time you're taking a big risk. You don't what life is supposed to be like. You could end up being a billionaire. You could end up being "the one" like Neo or you could be someone that is starving and feels that they have nothing else to live for.
           In the Matrix, Neo takes the red pill. When he is in the new world, someone tells him that they took the red pill and they regret that decision every day of their life. If you are content with who you are, and you don't think that there is anything else interesting in your life, I guess that would make sense to take the blue bill.  Some people just accept the fact that they are ignorant. I don’t think of myself as ignorant but maybe we all are.
I now understand this movie a little bit better. I think it is a well made action movie. It really makes you think while you are watching it and think afterwards about what you would do. It also makes you think if there is another place besides this.
