Informal Writing Assignment #2 (The red or blue pill?)

With Morpheus offering red and blue pills to Neo, the scene had me nervous as if I was the one who's being asked. Although it was my 100th times watching the movie, I felt like I forgot the story and it was all came back as brand new. Back then, I had no clue whether neither pills meant anything. If I'm remembering correctly, I just thought that if Neo had the guts to go into the matrix, then red, but if he was a little pansy, then blue. Of course, Neo chose the red pill. Jokingly, the movie would've been in-existed if Neo chose the blue pill. With that said, my perspective of the underlined story and the movie itself made sense, when the movie is compared to our reality. Red pill could be described as if embracing the truth of reality whether it could be good or bad. However, the blue pill could be described as the illusion that we create when ignorant.

    
Hypothetically, if I was Neo or The One, and I was asked by Morpheus which pill would I take, my answer would be the red pill. First of all, if I was standing front of Morpheus, I would probably choose the red pill just because I wouldn't want any confrontation with the great Morpheus. Second, I would choose the red pill just because of peer pressure that Morpheus brings to the table. Third and last, because of my personality, I would choose the red pill. 

      Some people say that I'm very blunt when speaking in front of our friends. Some even recognize and tell me that it is something that not everyone's capable of. Although I take it as if I'm rude when someone tells me that I'm blunt, mostly people complimented me because I was true to myself. Through other people's opinions and thoughts, I was able to recognize some characteristics of my personality. With that said, the pill that matches my personality would most likely be the red pill. For example, when someone has Cheetos crumbs all over their face after swallowing the bag, what's the person next to him going to do? If he or she tells the friend with Cheetos crumbs around their mouth, he or she is probably going to make the moment awkward. However if he or she doesn't tell the friend, then the friend has to embarrass him or herself unconsciously. When these scenarios do occur in my life, I choose to tell my friends. Although it some how effects my time with my friend, I'd rather sacrifice that over my friend embarrassing him or herself without knowing. Also, what if your friend finds out that you didn't acknowledged them with Cheetos crumbs all over. Then the problem becomes bigger than what it could've been. 

The blue pill does sound secure and relax as Morpheus mentions that you could believe what you want to believe. However, I refuse to only believe in what I want to believe. Although I am pretty self-centered, I know through Christianity that what I know isn't right. Believing in what you want to believe would be brave as well as foolish. Also, there will be no guidance when you walk alone with your own beliefs. Just like when Morpheus said he would show how deep the rabbit hole is if you take the red pill. If you were to fall down the hole with uncertainty of the height of the hole, you would be scared. However, if you have faith and follow Morpheus' lead, not only you wouldn't feel scared but you'll also feel the comfort.
