Interesting post Matt, Truth, I know of one truth for me, if I strive to take care of myself by eating right and excersizing I feel better. It is not always easy, that is a second truth. As I experience life and learn, I find more and better ways to do that, it is always in a state of flux, so the truth in some ways is fleeting. What I know as truth today may not hold up to examination as a truth tomorrow. But that is the nature of things in the Universe we inhabit. Morpheus was right about one thing, truth is never easy...unless you remain ignorant about your Being and about your Purpose. But when you shed that, Life can be challenging, and for some, it is easier to remain ignorant, it's a choice, and I'd rather be on this Path than that one...
Lots of great quotes from that movie (just don't watch the second or third one, they are dumb)...
"There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."
"I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."
All kind of say the same thing. Get off you ass and do something about it! If you are going to just give up when it gets difficult, don't bother with it in the first place.
Didn't NEO once ask if there was a modified version of the task at hand? And Morpheus, if I recall correctly, just responded "Sometimes, you just have to do hard sh1t"... or something to that effect.
"I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?" BLUE pill = sitting on the couch eating nachos
