Open your mind
In my opinion, we do live in a matrix. some of us go through our day mindlessly traveling from place to place just going through the motions. never actually fulfilling our true purpose of life. (whatever that is) never actually noticing how the world around us works. how the clouds seem to take numerous shapes from a simple cotton ball to a complex formation of geometric shapes. never noticing the birds flying so swiftly through the air above us, but we sure notice the presents they leave on our car windshield. Like Mr. Zucman said, appreciation of art is unique to us humans, so why don't we appreciate the beautiful art God left all around us. we should open our mind to the world around us, and when we do that our mind will be free. we might not be able to jump from building to building, or be able to dodge bullets, but by opening our minds... like Morpheus said, WE WONT HAVE TO.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteThis is An Tran from Art 100C.
The video clips from Matrix also made me feel the same way as you do. Nowadays, we are so caught up in this busy lifestyle that we barely have any time left to appreciate the beauty of things surrounding us.
I agree, technology is key. In todays world we never are really there. We use apps to say we're here, we're there but how can we be if we aren't actually living it. Sooner or Later we won't even be living for ourselves. We'll be just like that Bruce Willis movie "Surrogates" (Robots will be living our lives for us). What if we just adapt backwards to a simpler way of living sort of how the Amish do. Would we be happier?
