To exist or seem to exist? Red or Blue?

So everybody what’s it going to be red or blue, conformity or nonconformity, the easy road or the hard but real path? After reading different texts on this debate between taking either the red or blue pill I’ve learned that it goes much further than most notice. What does choosing the red or blue pill really mean? Does it judge the character of a person, or does it show if a person real or just living?

It wouldn’t surprise me if seventy five percent of the world’s population either chooses the blue pill or just has it shoved down their throat. Most people in today’s world almost act as machines caught in a ongoing cycle of living, doing what they think they are supposed to do in life, then dying. Like what is a person supposed to do in life? Most people would say grow up, go to college, get a good job, start a family, and die. So many people live to this standard that they are caged inside to where they are programmed to be a “model” citizen. What is a model citizen you might ask? A model citizen to me is a person that grows up in a controlled environment making every typical decision a good person should make. These people obey the law even if they might think some laws are unfair or they are being treated unfair. These people their whole lives are benefiting the economy, even though business tactics and ethics of today aren’t always moral or even looking out for the model citizen. Someone who takes the blue pill gets stuck in society afraid to branch out or discover their internal desires. These people are totally opposed to radical ideas even though some of these radical ideas might sound valid to them. It’s the fact that the idea is radical that automatically makes it automatically irrelevant to the person. These blue pill takers are blue collared, comfortable where they are, and trapped.

What about the red pill? Are these people the extremists? Are they the intellectual? Are they the people that hold their own beliefs and desires higher than the beliefs and desires of modern day society? To me these people are the people that might not live in a suburban home with a concrete schedule and always know their next move. These people are the people that live lives that are true to them and they know it’s what they want to do no matter what it is. These people go through life proposing the question how can I leave my mark on society without letting it leave its mark on me. These people are the risk takers, the ones that think outside of the box and really don’t care about others feelings on how they are living their lives. The red pill in a way is unconformity, its choosing the path that is unknown but real and unstructured. Maybe the choice of the red pill could be disastrous for some but life saving for others.

Through reading the texts I’ve learned that deciding between the blue and red pill goes much deeper than a simple judgment of character. A decision between right and wrong judges character. This decision shows whether a person want to live a real true to themselves life, or just get thrown into a systematical controlled society. So how many people look back on life after choosing the blue pill and wish they had chosen the blue one? Probably many, how many people have you heard look back on their life saying I would of done something different or I wish I had done what I love to do? Even the people that take the red pill might live a life that’s well different than normal, but all in all its their own life that they chose unaffected by the world surrounding them.
