I used to see the world in black and white, when I was younger. It made me very judgemental, and it made it difficult for me to relate to people with opinions different to mine.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see"
A lot has changed since leaving, and returning to this country. In my head that is.
Coming back now, I see that I was not alone. It is a malady that afflicts a great deal of us.
Until today, I still believed that the truth is paramount, and that the truth will set us free. In the Matrix, Neo chose the red pill - the real world - over the safe haven of the matrix. It was obvious why, the blue pill was harmful. Forgetting meant the death of life, and humanity.
I just watched Old Boy though, and now I'm wondering.
What if it is real life that chains us down, and forgetting the past that sets us free?
What if the death of life... lies in living?
