I find that the matrix is basically a fantasy world. A reality that we wish we could live in, as fake as it maybe. As discussed in class the matrix is like a game created as another reality for humans, and what are games for us now? Games are interactive devices played to escape reality. It is a fantasy world where we can be and do the impossible. In my reading and interpretations of the "Matrix and Philosiphy" we really cannot prove if we are in a Matrix at this very moment. We can only believe our experiences and deuctions. The ideas produced in the book really do make you ask questions about yourself and life. Is what we see real? Am I reallly typing on a computer right now wrting this assignment? Or am I dreaming that I am? What is real? What is Illusion? We have to decide for ourselves. I may very well be living in the matrix right now but I will make the best of it and take the necessary steps to become what I want in life.
The book, the movie and disscussions in class are having me questioning everything now. Everday objects and senses will never be the same for me. Questions since I was little were always in the back of my head. I've had dreams where everything was so vivid it all seemed so real. I'd wake up in the dream and do what I have to do for the day to actually wake up and see I've been sleeping the whole time and done nothing at all. Since then I have always wondered am I really doing what I think I am? Am I really seeing that object there? Or is my mind fooling me once again? I can never be sure but I always believed this to be my reality. Now those nagging questions in the back of my mind have become more prominant with deeper disscussions and futher devlopment in class. The question I am now askin myself is will I try to prove it to myself? Or will I just accept reality as it is now... I can only take a deep breathe and think of it as logically as possible.
