In ‘The Matrix,’ it was said that love is merely a word justifying the relationship between two subjects, a connection that links two together. Machines too ‘feel’ love; it is indeed a “link”. At one stage one character – a program – asked Neo, “What would you give to hold onto that connection?” “Anything,” Neo answered. Is love a program? As much as we know how it influences the choices we make in life, is it the rules of a game we like to play? Smith declared that funny how the patterns of love follow the patterns of insanity.
However, the love that was demonstrated in ‘The Matrix’ leads us to think it is somewhat a force that results one to give up anything and everything in the world. What I want to know is: is it? Would you die in pain for the one you love, giving up on every pride you once had? Or do most of us give up on the search in finding love instead? Surely, if the link hasn’t been found then no sacrifices need to be met. Yet our society managed to link the word ‘incomplete’ to the image of a single lad. Here is a thought: do we purposefully make life more difficult for ourselves?
If it is ‘a link’, once we are ‘clicked’ in, is it all fated to be? That is to say like petal falling to the ground. do we ever ‘click’ out? Is it possible to delete a program? In our world today, programs are deleted, upgraded, abandoned on daily bases. In the intellectual world of gods and oracles, are we played like puppets on a string [if not, excuse my offence] whilst the Forms from Plato’s theory are constantly added, altered and abolished?
