A concept, that we live in something we can\u2019t explain \u2013 in the words of Morpheus: \u201cthe world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth\u201d. In the movie, Neo takes a leap of faith and decides to wake up to true reality. Is there any relevance to such ideologies, like the two mentioned above? Is there truly a need to wake up, or is everything just what it seems?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; People being oblivious to a greater reality is nothing new.

For this people\u2019s heart has grown dull. But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, \u201cwe played the flute for you, and you did not dance\u201d.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} --><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>There is indeed a much greater picture than this life has presented us and there is more than meets the eye.
