The Matrix



Today I was reminiscing about the first Matrix movie. When I first watched it, it was mind altering, that we could be living in an artificial world, made to keep us from knowing the truth. Two of my favourite quotes from this movie are from Morpheus. The first being “What is real, how do you define real? The second being I can only show you the door, you’re the one who has to walk through it. The second is probably the quote that has most relevance to our lives today. Everyday we are faced with opportunities (doorways if you may) and we choose to ignore them. But what if we took the initiative and walked through these doors as Morpheus suggests, won’t we then become better individuals driven by what awaits us on the other side?
