Conclusion:

After hearing the Matrix debate whether to take the red pill or the blue pill, both sides of the argument make extremely valid points. By taking the blue pill, which can be considered the more comfortable choice, you continue to live life with content and the feeling of freedom. By taking the red pill, you choose to reveal the truth of the Matrix and considerably be told that the life you have been living was a lie. The Matrix film plot follows the red pill. Those that sided with the blue pill stated that if you are unaware, you happily live your life without fear because you know no better. Those that sided with the red pill, choose to live life with constant fear. Is Morpheus telling you the truth? At the end of the argument, though I argued the red pill in class, I would choose to side with the blue pill. I could not go on to live my life knowing that the life I was living was a lie.
