Why choose between pills, as if there is no other choice? When you give in to the idea of choosing between one pill or the other – you are choosing which master you will follow. You are given the illusion of freedom. But whichever pill you choose – you will still be stuck in the “matrix”
Stripped of following a political party, a nonprofit, a movement, etc – what do you really believe? Have you found yourself agreeing with one or two things from a group you don’t follow and disagreeing with a few things of a group you do follow?
In the United States of America, we the people are in charge. Our elected officials are merely there to represent our interests, not their own. Since we the people are the ones in charge and the real power lies with us, there is great interest from those that want our power to shape our thoughts and minds. Let me say that again so it sinks in. You have the power, and there is great interest in shaping your thoughts and mind so that you willingly give up that power.
Given that, shouldn’t we be more wary of every group, ideology and political party that wishes to take up real estate in our mind?
Both the red and blue pill are metaphorical boxes to trap your mind within an ideology that you may fully not agree or disagree with. Beware of giving in too fully to a political party or any movement or ideology. The mind changes and grows over time, and through experiences and conversations with others. Those that push a side serve to further divide you from the the other side, to prevent conversations, and stifle growth and change.
Know your own moral compass first and foremost, and remember the proverbial metaphor of walking in another persons shoes.
