Living In Virtual Reality Like Matrix - Choosing Between A Red & Blue Pill

     

     It all start in the morning when I wake up with the sound of my phone ringing. It tells me that I need to wake up to prepare myself for this day, to do my everyday life and at the end go back to bed where it all began. But what if, out from nowhere someone came and interrupt my daily life trying to convince me that whatever I am living right now is all an illusion and ask me to choose between two pills. A red one that could show the truth that he claims it does not exist and the blue one will allow me to keep on living my regular life forgetting this particular day. In that kind of situation, I would choose the blue pill since I already believe that the world that I am living right now is the real picture.

      Doubts start to flow inside my head trying to understand the meaning behind knowing the truth. What does that mean? It will lead me to realize that every sound that I heard, pictures that I saw and every food that I taste had never been fake. Believing that the life is simply a computer that controls us and our sensation, is hard to find. According to the movie  The Matrix, Neo had doubts inside his mind and confusion for his dreams that seems for him so real, as if reality and fantasy combined to have the same sense of feeling. Morpheus tells Neo “You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, which there's something wrong with the world.” So Neo already seems there is something wrong with his life, but by comparing it with my situation, dreams seem to me a whole separate world that I only the mind and soul could exist in it, while the reality will add to it the existence of my body. According to the philosopher Rene Descartes, the dreams are just a shadows of reality, in another word a reflection of what is real. And that proved already that the place we live in is the reality itself.

     Before taking any pill, we need to think of the deep thoughts behind this assumption of life in virtual reality. Think about what exactly exist in front of my eyes might be a lie is possible somehow, but forgetting about the world existence or even other being existence, I need to think of my presence in such a place. I know for sure when I close my eyes if I was in a dream, illusion or even in a real world that I exist. I am the one how to control my actions, body, and mind and according to Descartes “ I think therefore I am” which means if I can think and take action then I exist as a being. 

     I am sure about my existence but what, but what about other existence? There is no way that I am the only being that exists in such a reality, that can’t be possible to happen. Also the place that I live in couldn’t be a lie or a picture that consist of code, because if that creator could control that accurate than my mind, but since I am the one in charge of my body, action and thought, and since we can improve our knowledge and be creative than being a slave in a machine would sound impossible because they have limits, while human there is no boundaries for their development. And if we assume it true, then this program should have some anti to element any outsider thoughts that might harm that system just like the gatekeeper (the agent)  in The Matrix, so if it were true, then these though would have eliminated since a long time ago.

     In conclusion, the only reality that exists is the reality that I am living right now with my all sensation and feeling, And there is no way that anybody could convince me otherwise. Moreover for this ll idea t exist right now and for the whole world without eliminating that thought is the absolute prove that this option of living a virtual reality is only an over thinking thoughts with the development of technology.
