Re: Sigh . . .

you are much more reasonable in your second post here.

i'm not up to going deep into the issues tonite.

the matrix has people locked in cacoons and the machines are feeding off their energy. don't they have a right to free themselves of it?

who came looking for who? aren't the agents trying, and are programmed, to destroy the rebelling humans.

what's interesting about the film too is that human nature works both for and against the humans. the guy who said he should have taken the blue pill instead, for odd reasons, turned against his fellow humans.

to me, the first matrix movie is an incredibly revealing film philosophically. i understand too, the film was embraced by some buddhist group since the idea that we are really not awake is part of their philosophy.

but then, something can come along and be this revealing and it can be discarded by many, confused by many, and obfuscated by many. my original reaction was to rebel against this lessening of the film.

i like the idea by the russian philosopher ouspensky who said that esoteric knowledge is really there and available to all but people just don't tap into it.
