there is no spoon

The Matrix may be my favorite movie of all time. The action is good in the movie but what really intrigues me is the philosophical questions it presents. What is real? Can humans really be considered a virus of earth? How do we know we aren't already in a dream world that we can't wake up from? How much do we really depend on machines and are they necessary? Would you really want to know if the matrix was in charge? Would ignorance be bliss? Did the machines really get the flavor of our food right? Would God step in and take care of artificial intelligence or would he let his creation go to waste? Can humans really be imprisoned and manufactured in such a way that endless electricity is created? How much symbolism were the wachowski brothers able to put in the movie? How much should we read into what the names of the characters are? Would a helicopter crashing into a building really look that cool? What can we believe? 

On another subject my dad has been politicking for me to get back with my last girlfriend. I don't want to get back with her because she intentionally started playing a game. She decided that she was going to try less at our relationship and it backfired on her. She would take me back and she has told my parents that she doesn't want anyone else, but she should of thought about that before she decided to try less. We also dated for a year and I didn't think I loved her. If two people are together that long and have not come to that conclusion, then they shouldn't be together in a romantic manner.
