As William Shakespeare, the most famous Elizabethan writer and playwright said, “Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.” In this, having knowledge, is to be able to find a higher state of being, and to be ignorant means that one is grounded and cursed, unable to leave.

The chance of rebellion is massive because the masses are not necessarily fit to handle the truth that awaits them outside of their machine bubbles.

Matrix” demonstrating a choice we all make in life. Morpheus gives Neo a choice between two pills—a red pill and a blue pill. "Take the blue pill," says Morpheus, "and the story ends.

branched off from alternative music. Alternative pop/rock is a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-1980’s and mid-1990’s. Since there are a variety of musical styles within alternative rock, all of them tie together and exist outside of the mainstream.
