Someone very innocently asked me once, “what is your concept of happyness ?”. And I was left fumbling for words.
Hardwork pays bigtime and it feels good, and may lightning strike anyone who denies that. But then we re-invest our earnings. Put our past experiences and knowledge to use. Work even harder. It pays even more. And does it feel good. Hell yeah. Even better. We feel on top of the world.
But then there comes a time. A very dark and awful time. And we think what exactly is our “concept of happyness”. And we think. And we stop. And we look back.
And we realize its all a dream we have been feeding our heads. Confining our brain in “the Matrix”. And who else, but We, are “Agent Smith”. Creating the Matrix for our heads. Redefining happyness for our own good. Fooling our heads. Making it work for us. Luring it further into the oblivion.
But who the hell says its wrong. Why does Smith always get to be the bad guy ?? It has worked all this time. We fooled our heads, lured it to work hard and it has paid. Whats the catch ??
The catch is this. We control Smith. And we don’t let Smith know that. We fool Smith into allowing us into fooling us.
Don’t let Smith take full control of your head. Don’t forget your “Real concept of happyness” from the one you have let Smith fool yourself into.
Don’t let the feeling of climbing a mountian sink too deep into the oblivion. Or talking your heart out to your loved ones in cold winter nights. Or shouting out your best song with your best friends.
That’s the catch. And then when you realize it, the dark clouds give way. The dark and awful time passes away and we find ourself in “the Architect’s Room”. The Architect of the Matrix. And we face the choice. In Architect’s words “Take the left door and go back into the oblivion. And I will see you when the next anomaly arises. Or take the the right door. And you shall find the “Real concept of happyness”.
And there comes a time when we take the right door.
