"You’ll be so surprised to learn who’s been talking to you”

That line has been bothering me as well. Is it benevolent or not. Is it a threat? Or more of a taunt? Are we living the "Matrix" or "The Truman Show"?

Maybe I spend to much time thinking about things. I think about whether it is a blessing or a curse to be curious. Is it a blessing or a curse to think about things? Would it be a better life to just work, eat and sleep and just live in the moment, never giving any thought to anything more that the next thing to do, eat, drink.

I have known people like that. Are they happier? Who is happier(if that really is a thing), the smart, the dull or the sheeple?

A liberal leaning Sister once told me to keep things simple. I apparently don't have the ability to do that.

Here is an answer to all your questions, young Neo. Perhaps you would like to plug back into the Matrix?

I wanna be rich. You know, somebody important. Like an actor.

It’s not the thinking or questioning that is the problem, it’s floating around close to abject cynicism the causes one such difficulties.
