The Matrix.

"This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." - Morpheus, The Matrix

Red pill' has become a popular phrase among free-thinkers attitude, and a waking up from a "normal" life of sloth and ignorance. Red pills prefer the truth, no matter how gritty and painful it may be. It's also a well known man movement in western society, but about this I can write in another day. Today I want to explain why I'm a red pill chooser and support that!

Back in 1999 when I first saw "The matrix" it immediately became one of my favorite movies, at first mostly due to new exciting visual effects, but deep down the message on the movie got stuck on my mind. Life for me, has a different perspective when compared to the way most people choose to live it. And even knowing that for a really long time I was inside the matrix, at the moment, I really feel that I awoke, So let me explain you why:

House - I don't own a house, I will never buy one or built one! I rent a room, that is more than enough for me.

Car - I don't own a car, I used to own one, and I was a slave of it. I bought a car to go to work and soon I realized that I was working to sustain the car. Between taxes, insurances, periodic inspection, maintenance and of course gasoline, that's a lot of money and time required. But I consider, buying a van and live/travel on it.

Work - Right now, I don't have a 9 to 6 work and I will probably never have one again. My income requirements are lower, because of three things mentioned above, so I can work less and have more free time for me.

Kids - I don't want or have any kids, mostly because if I think they are a huge investement, that I really don't want to do. But about this I have a future entry prepared.

Food - Food is a big part, in the process of awaking, understanding that what we consume, determines our health.

Health - True healthy people, not the ones who have nice bodies on the outside, are not profitable, they don't go to hospitals, they don't buy western medicine. So I keep the doctor away with good diet and an active lifestyle.

Sports - I use my bicycle to travel and transportation, it keeps me lean and healthy, I save the environment, don't pay taxes with it and I see the world on it.

Possessions - Basically, between two bicycles, a bodyboard, all the stuff for this two sports, a computer, a smarthphone and some clothes that can fit in a medium backpack, I'm done!

Travel - Nothing makes you grow you more as an individual, than traveling. With the lifestyle that I have, I travel often, even that in some cases is just leaving with bicycle for a couple of days couch surfing or sleeping outside.

Television - I sold my tv, cancelled my cable service. TV are zombie makers.

Legal drugs I don't consume, stimulants also known as legal drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or coffee among others, they just simply don't enter my life!

So repeat after me;

• go to school
• get a job
• get married
• get children
• follow fashion
• act normal
• pay taxes
• watch tv
• obey the law
• don't question

I'm Free!
