LOL - we're back on that topic again, hm?
That is indeed a nice allusion to the blue pills. Maybe even fitting: As I mentioned I took antidepressants also for a while. Not blue, but same kind of stuff. It was kind of a blue pill indeed - made me function, shut out some melanchonic (sp?) thoughts. But in the end it was no good. I gained weight, felt strange so I kicked them. So I guess I have taken the red pill very early and need none now to have the realization of what the matrix is (the earth-destroying society we live in) - basically my explanation is that this is what caused my sorrow which people called depression. Sadly, in this kind of real life game, it is a lot harder to get from realizing it to getting out of it . Still, realizing that as a cause, I can not deal with it consciously and thats a good thing. Needless to say, that Avatar kind of gave me a butt kick towards this realization that was lingering just below conscious level before
