As you may already be aware the Matrix is a computer generated world that we are all plugged into. In the Matrix we are all slaves to the system and not in charge of our own destinies.
How can you free your mind from the Matrix? Is it possible to transcend the system and status quo?
For info, I understand that the Matrix film is a work of fiction. But I am interested in its philosophical implications.

If Matrix is true and we are all program to
do the things we do then it will be too hard
for us to break away from the system. Unless
of course we how the system works. It's kinda sad
to know that our life is already been chosen by
the system for us to follow. It seemed like we are
all slaves and can only obey...no freedom at all.

If we're in matrix, than even all these thoughts if we are or if we're not are just artificial, u get what i mean?
There would be no freedom in theory, but in fact we surely would be programmed that way, so we felt and knew, that what we do, we do with our free minds.
Even states in which we see structure of matrix would programmed.
I saw matrix once, in france, after srsly good stuff. But then i can wonder if i saw it or if it was also part of delusion created by mainframe in order to start me thinking like that. I mean it would be reasonable to allow us think bout matrix, cuz if i can think and nothing happens... maybe it doesnt exist at all?

If we remember, Neo was awakened after touching the liquid mirror. As the reflective surface of the mirror spread across his body, his body was slowly receiving sensory input from the real world, until eventually he was completely free from the matrix.
I think most people just need the help of others who know how to fee people.
