Who am I? Is Neo Still Stuck In The Matrix?

Who am I? Confusion seems to be the premise of the day but this quote from Keanu Reeves fits better than anything else. I so agree, do you?


"Where women do not want children, and men don’t want a family.

Where the suckers believe themselves to be successful behind the wheel of their fathers', and a father who has a little bit of power is trying to prove to you that you’re a nobody.

Where people falsely declare that they believe in God with a shot of alcohol in their hand, and the lack of any understanding of their religion.

Where the concept of jealousy is considered shameful, and modesty is a disadvantage.

Where people forgot about love, but are simply looking for the best partner.

Where people repair every rustle of their car, not sparing any money or time, and, they look poor that only an expensive car can hide it.

Where the boys waste their parents' money in nightclubs, aping under the primitive sounds, and girls fall in love with them for this.

Where men and women are no longer identifiable and where all this together is called freedom of choice, but for those who choose a different path-get branded as retarded despots.

I choose my path, but it’s a pity that I did not find similar understanding in the people among whom I wished to find it most of all … “ 
~ Keanu Reeves

Such strong words who else agrees? How are many others in the world tired of the mudslinging, crap calling, and worrying about things that are not important at all?

All the protests are proclaiming love, but all I see is hate.

We live in a world where people pay others to raise their children, where it is easier to ignore than help others, and where humanity feels lost.

As a child, I grew up in a community that allowed the kids of my neighborhood to roam freely without fear. We traveled beneath the town in the sewer tunnels having adventures. It was a time that we were able to go blocks away from home even when we were subtle. I was three when I began my roaming with the other kids.

Can you imagine? A three-year-old roaming all over town supervised only by a five, six, and seven years old? Could we do that today?

I would not even think about letting children that small run wherever they desired. But during that period in my life, it was safe. Everyone in town watched over us like hawks, so the illusion of not being supervised was just that imaginary. Today's world doesn't offer very many cases where others watch out for one another.

It was a time when you told your children to find a preacher, teacher, or policeman if they had trouble. What do you tell kids today? Sadly, all you have to do is watch the news to hear instances of someone in authority molesting a child.

What has happened to this world? People have lost themselves in everything.

Families aren't families any longer. Just because you raise your children with unconditional love doesn't mean they return that love. Just because you have large families doesn't mean you aren't alone.
