I've kind of been ignoring my writerly duties due to my scholarly duties, but that's all going to change! Page by Paige will get back on track...Hopefully. I've never been good with my resolutions. I will do my best though! I have a goal to post at least once a week, which is perfectly achievable.
The topic for this week is "The Matrix." During my break, I watched the trilogy with my family because the last time I watched it (when I was about 9) I did not understand it. There's so much metaphorical resonance to it that I get why my nine-year-old self was confused.
But man! What an idea! It kind of makes you question what "real" really is. If you think about it for too long, you could go insane.
Some people have made it into a religion: "Matrixism." To them, we're all waiting around for the red pill, waiting to realize the truth. About 16,000 people are part of this religion. 16,000 people believe that this world is just a computer program.
Who knows? Maybe it's true. Maybe the Matrix is not a computer program, but something else entirely. We don't know. All we know is what we sense and that is reality for now. I will continue to live and thrive in this reality while those 16,000 people are waiting. Maybe not all of them are waiting, but I'm trying to make a point here and that is while they wait, I will write and create realities of my own while in this reality.
I have a question. Are truths bestowed upon you or are they found?
Silly me...What is truth? What is it?
Mind=boggled. :-)
