Red Pill or Blue Pill?

Living in lies can benefit an individual. If every person were a clairvoyant then they would live in fear. They would know what happens in everyone’s life. A clairvoyant can’t live his life in lies since he knows everything. An example can be a Polish clairvoyant Krzysztof Jackowski. He helps the police in criminal and missing people cases. In an interview he said that he wouldn’t like to be a clairvoyant because he feels that he is responsible for all the problems that occur. Krzysztof said that if he would have the ability to be a normal person he would want to. Facing reality can be really hard and even for him it is. He would like to see how it is living in lies and not knowing what happens to the people around him. Sometimes living in lies is better, since in most situations your voice wouldn’t make the situation better. Sticking to what you know is beneficial for some because if they find out the truth more problems can arise. Knowing the truth and trying to resolve it not always brings a positive impact.

Fate or Free Will?

I believe that Neo went down the path of fate instead of free will. Oracle knew from the beginning that Neo was the one but told him the complete opposite. She informed Morpheus that he would soon find The One. When this would occur then Trinity would fall in love with him. Why did Oracle lie to Neo and mislead him by saying he is not The One? If Neo knew from the start that he was The One then his potentials would go wrong to be accepted. When the Agents captured Morpheus, Neo tried to rescue him. He was very determined to complete the task even though he was prepared to die at the end. His final defeat made him realize his true ability that he was The One. At the end, he finally realized he was The One just like the Oracle and Morpheus believed.
