We like to think we are logical beings. We like to think we are spiritual beings. But perhaps, before all else, we are **desirous beings**. More often than we care to admit, we don’t follow what is…

I was watching this reel early this morning and it was a pretty interesting reel where a man was talking about a scene in the movie Matrix.

It is a very good movie and that's, mildly putting it, one of the best movies I've ever seen.

The movie is so well layered that it applies a lot of things, a lot of principles to any aspect of your life and how you see the world.

It's a movie that was done by the Wachowski brothers and they were way ahead of their time.

And I believe they revealed a lot And they gave a lot of people some sense of clarity by putting out this movie.

And personally, I think the Wachowskis were punished for doing this because they're no longer called the Wachowski brothers.

And so it's so sad to see men who were so clear to write this, I think it started as a comic first, and to come up with this story that is incredibly clear, incredibly lucid, and for them to lose their own sense of identity.

But I believe it was a repercussion for revealing that level of truth to the world.

But that aside, I was watching this reel where the man was talking about a particular scene in The Matrix, which is one of my favorite scenes too in The Matrix, where this character called Cipher, who was part of a resistance.

Now in The Matrix, you have a group of people who have come to realize that the world is not everything it claims to be.

The world is just a simulation by a machine In actual fact, everybody in the world is asleep.

But then there are a group of people, by some means, they've woken up and they've broken out of this machine.
