Levels Kwedini, Coz He Could Have Just Kicked From The Ground…., But Nah
You seen Neo dodging bullets, then later stopping bullets; in my psycho head I’m, like **Levels Kwedini**. The action scenes are exaggerated, millions spend on the production, cars and bridges torn apart and bodies twisted and many filming days used up and a lot of failures endured… For what? What really was the message from the Matrix? Any take-ways?
Well to me the movie is all about self confidence…. Finding self confidence and becoming your own person and in the process inspiring those around you to believe that they too can in essence ‘dodge and stop bullets’ just like you did. The Matrix is really just a simulation of reality… Neo in the movie resembles the average dude with a ‘normal’ life and a job. Have you ever just wondered what your sole goal on this earth is? What did God have planned for you? surely you know you aren’t normal, you go to bed with this feeling and you wake up with it, it’s the reason you feel you can get whatever you want, its what fuels up your ambition and ego and makes you the envy of your peers (hopefully)..
Truth is we all see ourselves as special, as having that character trait that the next person does not possess. We are born to be different, because if that was not the case then why were you created? We all believed this as kids, its what made us believe we can do anything we want. Then somewhere in-between growing up and becoming adults we lose that sense of imagination, we stop believing in the impossible and opt for a normal life. This simulates the Matrix that Morpheus explained to Neo about, an environment were your self created kid-like superpowers get taken away and you constantly in the presence of Krypntonites that drain out your true potential and you end up playing for second best. The human brain knows where it should be, I believe that all this depression business and stress blah blah blah is just the Neo within you trying to get out but is trapped, this then creates frustration as you feel lost, you feel like you useless, the world’s compulsion to opt for the average has contained you in a tight corner and your creativity is crying out for help. You feel like your mind is clouded, you cannot think.
Of-course you cannot think in this type of circumstances whereby you constantly going against what you should really be, your mind then becomes a house with 2 conflicting characters, mind you the mind can only house 1 character at a time, and if the character it has installed in it isn’t of the right specification of the real you, then conflict arises, much like how you cannot install an android application on an IOS (apple) device, if you try this it will not work. Frustration arises within because you not utilizing your full features, then boom! depression, anxiety, stress… you name it.
Now back to computers, if a computer experiences any faulty errors, it tries to restart itself, the mind functions with the same logic, I feel like the above mentioned mental conditions occur because the mind is trying to rid itself of a faulty application which isn’t supposed to be there, much like how your stomach throws out the alcohol through your mouth if you drink something new or try mix drinks that aren’t compatible with your normal diet.
Who are you fooling? surely you cannot possibly fool yourself, that would be madness, and your own mind will eventually catch-up with you, are you happy? then if not quit playing it off, do you do stuff because you want to and because it makes you happy or do you do it because you are told to or you just trying to impress someone? Bold as it may be, the world is a much better place without copies, be the real makoya baba, someone that amuses everyone because of their connectedness with the self.
Get out of your self-created Matrix of sucking up and pretending, the world needs you to be yourself and to play your unique role. Being awesome, amazing and stopping bullets is a personal choice.
