       In the movie, "The Matrix," Neo lived in a world that is not the real world. Everything in there was made by the matrix and is not real. When he realized that the world he lived is a artificial world, he could not accept the truth at first. However, after knowing something about the real, he wants to know more about it. Therefore, when he makes a choice between blue pill and red pill, he takes the red pill which goes to the real world. In my life, if I have to make a choice between blue pill and red pill, I would choose the red pill and go to the real world. No one wants to live in a world without knowing any truth. In addition, people are usually curious, they always want to find out the truth.

       I am sure that people do not want and do not like to live in a fake world. Living in a world that is not true does not have any meaning and cannot achieve our goals. Even though the truth may hurt ourselves, I would still want to know about the reality and go to the real world. In the movie, Neo gets hurt by the truth. He cannot image that the world that he had been lived most of his life is a artificial world and everything is fake. He does not accept the real world. However, he faces the reality later on and saves himself. If I am in Neo's situation I think I would do the same thing that he does.

       People are curious and always want to know about the truth. When people are not sure about something they will try really hard to find out the answer. This is our human being. In the beginning of the movie, Neo wants to know who is controlling his computer, so he follow the rabbit and find out the answer. When he knows about the matrix, he is eager to find out what is the matrix. Over more, he wants to know the truth about the artificial world that he perceives. In our lives, children are one of the examples. Children always want to find out the answer. Although their parents tell them not to do this, they still want to do it and find out what will happen next. I am also a human, therefore, if I am Neo I would be really curious about the matrix and the truth.

        In conclusion, to live in a fake world does not have any meaning. People do not have to live in a fake world, they can find out the truth by themselves, like Neo. In addition, it is good for people to be curious. They can find out the truth or the answer that they want.
