What would be your choice of taking the Red pill or the Blue pill? Me personally I would make the same choice as Neo did. I would take the Red Pill and would like to stay in the wonderland, and like that Experience a real world and get out from the fantasy I have been living my entire life. As it was show in the movie “The Matrix” Neo was on a fantasy dream what he called the real world. However his world was manipulated and controlled and he always felt like there where something wrong in the world he was in. This is why as soon he had the chance to see the truth he decided that path, since it was something he was always wondering. On the other hand “The Allegory Of The Cave,” the famous story given by Socrates of the journey from the world of opinion and appearances to the reality, also is another example of the manipulated world he live in and gave that up to know beyond of what he knew already. The world I live in is full of manipulations even though we don’t see it, we are manipulated by the government. Also religion is another way that we are being manipulated in this world was some of us think how the bible wants us to think and to believe. This is why I come to the conclusion of taking the red pill, because I don’t want to be trap in a circle of ignorance and manipulation. Second even though the truth might be painful many people could handle it on the other hand many people cannot depend how it was told. Thirdly after knowing that there is a true of the world I live in, I would not like to go back to be the ignorant person.
  First of all I don’t want to be trap in a circle of ignorance and manipulations. What I mean by that is we all live in a world where we are told what to do, in what to believe, and we are so ignorant that everything we hear and see in the news or what have been said by the churches and the important people meaning the government we think is true. We all live in a world of regulations and rules that we have to go by. We have to work hard for what we want and also work hard in order to survive and to have a better life not entire wealthy but to live not as poor. In the article “The allegory of the cave” the young guys were manipulated and shown a world that they thought it was real. However they didn’t know what the Sun was and how it looked like, they didn’t know nothing better than just staring at a wall and looking at the shadows that were projected. I don’t want to be that ignorant in my life I want to know beyond of what I have been told and shown. When I was little I was force to go to church and listen to the priest and to believe that Jesus was real and that he died for us and all the rest of nonsense that they say. Now that I’m older and have done my own research I have come to think the opposite of what I was told. I had come with the conclusion that everything that is said in church is just made up and not proven. Since there has not been a person that came from the death to tell us that he was alive while Jesus was and that he is a witness of everything that is said about Jesus or God. Because of this reason I would take the Red pill to know more of what I have been told, I prefer to know the truth about God then to believe something that is not proven. Also I mention the Government since is another way we have been controlled especially in this country, where they say we are a country of freedom but if you stop to think about it we are not. I have seen so many documentaries that had open my mind in many ways, and make me realize in the world I’m living like I said before controlled and manipulated by others. Neo in the movie “the matrix” found out of how manipulated his world was and how they were all controlled by technology. Which know all this open this eyes and staring viewing the world totally different then he was before. That’s what I would like to feel by taking the Red pill just like “Neo”, I would like to get out of the circle of ignorance and manipulation feel wiser and that whenever someone come up to me to tell me their stories that they think is true I would not be a fool and believe everything is true.
   Secondly Many people could handle the truth on the other hand many people could not handle the truth. Taking the red pill could be very risky because it could be a truth that we were expecting or something that we are not expecting and our reaction towards it may not be the same as everybody. Me in particular I would like to know the truth no matter how bad it is. I prefer to know the truth and know what to expect in the future and by knowing this my plans for the future could be different than what I have in mind now. In my personal life I experience how sometimes depending of what truth we are hiding could be harsh for some of us. My grandmother from my father side was diagnose with cancer and she had very little to live. All my family didn’t wanted to tell the truth to my grandfather since he was very sick and had heart problems. However the entire four months that she was alive, while we knew about her sickness he always question my aunts about my grandmother health but they always invented a story or they would go around it so they would not have to tell him the truth of what was going on with his wife. One month before she died he found out that his wife had cancer and had very little to live. Not only was this news hard to digest for him but his heart problems got even worst that he could not handle it since it was such a surprise for him after so many days and night seen her sick and not knowing why. He had a heart attack a couple of days later after he found out. And a month later my grandmother died. After what I pass thru with them is why I would choose million times the red pill from the beginning of what is going on than in the last moment. I admit that a truth like this would affect any body harmless in such way. But is better to know what to expect for the future so like that you could educate yourself better and prepare yourself for the worst or the better. Going back to “the matrix” and me being in it taking the red pill will take me out of living in a fantasy world with no freedom.
    Thirdly knowing that there is a true of the world I live in, I would not like to go back to be the ignorant person and act like nothing had happen and go back to believe everything that it was said to me before. Is very hard for me to move backwards in live, and that would be one of the things I would not do. I see videos with evidence and research documentaries that had opened my mind in such way, that now I see everything different in the world. I cannot see myself as close minded as I was before. Seeing the rest of the people out there that no matter what you tell them they are so close minded and have come to the point of believing everything the Government has tells them or of what they see in the news. I don’t think that is possible for someone to act like they have not seen anything or heard anything that sounded really true to them before. Because in the end you would explode of knowing how stressful your life is and how stupid you are acting. We are humans and we could only take several things but not live like ignorant after knowing a truth.
   To conclude no matter how bad the truth is I will make the same decision that Neo made by taking the red pill. Taking the red pill will open my mind and will make me a wiser person in live. It will help me make better decision for my future. It will also take me out of the fantasy, manipulated, world we live in.
