In the Matrix film, Neo has to decide whether he wants to stay in his known world by taking the blue pill, or should he take the red pill to know the “Matrix”. If I were him, I would take the red pill as he did, because I would like to know the truth beyond my reality.
I would not like to live inside of a lie. In the movie, the whole world was part of a lie. People were dominated by sentient machines, they created the world where humans habitat as a program recreation, they made that world only to control humans and to use them as energy source. People were not aware of their real lives. In the created world, there were agents that controlled people mind in order to preserve the Matrix. For example, one of the agents took over a human body to try to trap Neo, so they could capture him and bring him to the dark side.
I would like to go the extra mile when it comes to adventure. Neo did fulfill his life with new experiences when he took the red pill. He was just anxious to discover what the Matrix was really about. In any given situation of my life, I always like to go down the road for the unpredictable, I cannot imagine the adrenaline of taking the red pill, and it would make me go nuts. I would manage to control the mystery behind the red pill. I remember one time when I was a child, I ate a spicy jalapeno because of the red color, and the outcome from eating that jalapeno was that my face turned red, I had to throw up, and I had an irritated throat.
I would not like to be stock in an office job for the rest of my life as Neo was; he was a programmer in one of the most prestigious companies. He was tortured to stay the whole day in his office and through the movie he did not seem to like it.
Living In a life full of lies is not what we call a perfect life. Even though we know that the truth could be painful for us and for the ones we love, we should not take the truth for granted, but stand up for it. I believe that is what Neo did.
