This is a very common debate and chances are there has been a thread on this before now. So the question is, which pill would you take? According to wikipedia, the red pill represents the choice of embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality, and the blue pill represents the choice of blissful ignorance of illusion.
Some background, In the movie, the world has been taken over by computers and the computers have put every human in to the Matrix, a virtual prison that people don't realize they are in and that doesn't seem to differ to the world we live in. In the Matrix, Neo (the main character) is told that he is actually imprisoned and has to chose between taking the blue pill and staying in the Matrix, forget he was ever told that he is actually imprisoned in it and to go on with his daily life like nothing has ever happened, or to choose the red pill and he will wake up in the real world having to face the harsh truth of reality.
If i had to chose, i would be the idiot who downed both pills.
Just kidding, I would take the red pill, It's a disturbing feeling knowing that you are choosing to completely ignore what is actually going on because you are to afraid to face it.
I don't think we can justifiably say which pill we would take, because we already know the consequences of taking both of them. Since we know the consequences, everyone chooses the pill that they think makes them look "cooler", the red. Although I give props to those of you that chose the blue truthfully. Honestly, however, I would take the red pill, simply because there is such monotony to my life that an opportunity like that would be like a miracle from Heaven.
Blue. As cool ad red would be, I'd not be able to do anything about it, unlike Neo or anyone else in the matrix, I'm not super hardcore. I'd be dead, really quick
I do believe knight put it best. I would prefer the torture of knowing that I used to be imprisoned without realizing it that the instantaneous knowledge that I would be forever imprisoned.
red pill. hit me up with whatever is going on right now. i dont want to ignore the important details that could end up messing you up if you ignore them
