Bluepill Redpill

There are so many choices in life, I wouldn't know where to start to name them all, it is impossible. One of the choices has been featured in the way of the blue and red pills in the Matrix. One is expected to make a choice between blissful ignorance in an world of illusion and the real world, what world they end up in depends on what pill they take. The blue pills takes you back to the world of blissful ignorance while the red pills wakes you up in how the world really is, without the illusion carefully created.

So what is your choice? redpill or bluepill, an upper or a downer, choice wisely.

This scenario is actually not so far away from the reality we live in. However, our lives are not a complete illusion, yet we like to make our lives easier by taking sugar and milk in our tea. There is someone's life where they have to choose between ignoring real life of taking it all in, the good and the bad and seeing reality as it is. Nowadays those who take the red pill are called realists, they think they see the world as it really is and do not pretend that life is anything else than it is, yet some remain positive in that position while others become the celebrated pessimists.

In this modern world it is easy to hind behind a screen or behind anything and secretly wish the real world away because what you want does not fit into the way the world works. The sun won't shine forever and humanity won't last forever either, those are facts, we are not immortal and we do not know everything there is to know. Sometimes I wish I had taken the blue pill when it pills got presented to me, but ignorance as I was about the real world I took the red pill because what could happen, the real world couldn't be entirely bad and evil. No, of course it isn't but it is damn dreary and grey from the frog perspective I see it (I am small enough to disappear). Nothing will fall from the sky, except snow and rain and in some places dead fish or birds.

There is no endless supply of happy in the real world and whatever you do you have to do it on your own. In fact, you are on your own and you are your own, even the phenomenon of friends doesn't make you less on your own because you are still a separate person with separate thoughts and everything, nobody can be absolutely supportive of you or help you, there is still you attached to it. Sometimes it is just better to forget then to see everything as it is, happy does not comes for free and ignorance is bliss.

So what pill would you take?
