Are we in Matrix?
Today morning, while coming to office, I was walking on the footpath that leads to my office. It is a very small footpath so usually one has to walk slowly in a kind of queue. Not sure why, but today I was thinking about it and it felt so strange. Hundreds of people walking around. I don't know them and they don't know me. I am just one of the lakhs, crores of people. It also remembers me of the matrix. In of the scene, where Morpheous takes Neo to some training programme to explain him about his existence and there are lots of people walking and Neo is confused not being able to understand where he was and what was happening to him, trying to comprehend the bigger picture but his views, ideas still stop him from doing that. Are we also not like Neo, getting up everyday, getting ready for office, coming back home and ........ We are bound by a programme of which we dont have the clear idea or bigger picture. We don't question our schedule as if bound by something which we can't see, something that stops us from thinking more than what we are thinking right now. Are we actually some program running in a predefined space? Could it actually be true that we are into something like Matrix. Jokes apart, sometimes I really feel that it could be true.
