I've confirmed in my mind, this Morpheus is so Intellective, so knowable, very mental. But kind hearted, not that kind of a Criminal, as what they say. Fugitive, maybe, but a Pleasant fugitive. I just noticed. "What you know you can't explain, but you feel it, you felt it in your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world you don't know what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad, it is this feeling that has brought you to me," he carried on, then stared at me. "Do you know what I'm talking about?" he asked. "The Matrix?" I guessed. "Do you want to know what it is?" He questioned. I just nod. "The matrix is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very room, you can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television, you can feel it. When you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay taxes, it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth." He clearly stated. "What truth?" I still don't get it. "That you are a slave, Neo," he remarked. "Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison you cannot smell, or taste or touch. A prison for your mind," he told me. I understand it now.  "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is," then he opens a tiny box he's holding. "You have to see it for yourself," takes something then said, "this is your last chance." I should be ready what comes next, I've no idea what he's holding now. "After this, there's no turning back," and he reveals the pills. Oh, it's the pill then. "You take the Blue Pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the Red Pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. The times when I've decided, he added, "remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more." I'd take a chance to take the Red Pill, co'z one thing I know, what happens if I take this one? Then he said, "follow me." So I did, I walk in and it's like a Lab, I sat in a chair bed. Then they put things on me and examined me. "The pill you took is part of a Trace program," he said. "It's designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signal, so that we can pinpoint your location." "What is that mean?" what're they saying? Then the other stated, "it means  bcukle your seatbelts, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye." In that moment, I'm still absorbing what they mean, the I notice a broken Dark Mirror fixed. I told them to see but, I'm the only one there. "Have you ever had a dream, Neo. That you were so sure was real?" the voice said. I touch the mirror and it's like a cold water. "What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the Dream State and the Reality State?" he continued. Still adopting the Presence around me. I have the gut feeling this mirror is sucking me, "this can't be." "Be one, be real," he assured. And I slipped, the moment it swallowed me.
