Matrix: Immersion
So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Machine. Welcome to the Matrix, that is – everything that surrounds us. Everything we see, hear, touch, drink, eat, wear, and so on. The Matrix is schools, roads, airports, supermarkets, and advertising banners every fifty meters. The Matrix is politicians lying to us 24/7 on every TV channel and promising a sweet life. The Matrix is casinos, sports betting, lotteries, naked women in strip clubs, and any other available pleasure: all for your money. The Matrix is work that a person must perform as a slave every day (not by calling or when the soul desires), at the expense of his time, desires, and sometimes even his own health.
The Matrix is computer games: virtual reality in our surrogate reality. The Matrix is hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and other natural Earthly phenomena. The Matrix is old women gossiping on a bench near their house and “gnashing their teeth” at everyone and everything (yes, yes, do not laugh). This list can go on forever. Essentially, all of humanity is at the center of a huge, closed system that we conditionally called (while borrowing this very concise and precise term from the famous blockbuster) “the Matrix”.
The average mundane life of an average Earth citizen consists of the same mundane “construction set”: it is family-home-work-home-family and so on, in a closed circle. Sometimes there are some hobbies, trips, holidays, etc. But in general, no deviations in any direction – everything is very banal, standard, according to a generally accepted template. Everything is like everyone else’s.
Ordinary people are constantly occupied with what is called a fight for survival, earning as much money and material wealth as possible. Some have two or three (and sometimes more) jobs. Work consumes such people completely, taking away practically all their energy and vitality. Without realizing it, they become slaves. Slaves of the System. In the end, they work and earn money for the sake of money and their quantity, as well as to continue their existence (just existence, not life) in a closed space made up of generally accepted laws, norms, and rules.
It is absolutely clear that this is a path to nowhere and this algorithm of existence is a dead end for an individual.
It does not develop him, but only corrupts him further, adapts him to the System, and saps the remaining energy from a person, which could be saved and used for more constructive and useful things. But instead, it only feeds further the existence of the “hellish machine”. The Matrix, thus, uses us, and then “spits us out” when we are no longer needed by it. How do you like that? Ask yourself a question: is your life complete, constructive, and developing? The one that it should be in reality, the one you would like to live?
You may rightly object that if you don’t work at all, then nothing will be there: not a bad, not a good, not an average life. But I did not say that work is not needed at all. Of course, the work should be. But not work from the word “slave”. A person should choose a profession close to his heart and calling. God, without exception, endows everyone with talents and abilities from birth. You just need to identify and develop them on time, throughout your life. Mostly, work should be an answer to the question: “what have you always dreamed of doing?”.

“Stepping outside the System is not an open, destructive war. It is the creation of an underground, far-reaching network of free people united by a single noble goal.”
