this quote from the matrix feels relevant right now…
“did you know that the first matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. it was a disaster. no one would accept the program. entire crops were lost. some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. but I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. the perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.” - agent smith
