The following instructions are to be met in no specific order yet in a satisfactory degree and with the utmost attention:
Computer(s) – defragged, backed up and fully charged (if required)
Reference material – printed or digital, a personal preference
Appliances: Fridge – Microwave – Boiler
Fridge filled with liquids. In order of quantities: coca-cola, beer, juice, vodka.
Frozen food – an enormous amount of frozen food – any frozen food will do
Top shelf with two dozen of coffee sachets – one dozen cappuccino and one tea latte
Bottom drawer with pizza delivery brochures – to be used when things get rough
Use sugar as necessary. Overdose is to be avoided yet could be beneficial in certain circumstances
A toilet located in a safe distance and always available
Lots of spare t-shirts – washed, not ironed
Trousers, not important.
… congratulations – you are Renton’s geeky alter ego.

You are not important – what you have to offer is.
A woman with bigger breasts is preferable on the same level as a professional with more skills.
Wait, does this sound familiar to you?
Try to sidetrack and blame the jungle rule for it – claiming that intelligent people close to God shouldn’t think that way.
But you will be deluding yourself – and every attempt to do things any other way will have no application, making you miserable and a sorry ass of an existence.
In plain physics, consider a series of connected vessels – filling one side will rise the height of the liquid at the same level on every vessel. We, our souls, are like them – give lots and others will benefit more from you. Give little and everyone looses.
People know this – or better yet feel it. Again, it’s not discrimination, it’s not elitism – it’s plain physics 
You can see manifestations of this everywhere. Superficial or not – it is always just normal.
Ever wondered…
- Why a celebrity is cheered by strangers virtually doing nothing?
- Why someone with many friends can easier make more friends?
- Why a woman needs to be hugged before kissed?
- Why 5-star restaurants have better service?
- Why “if you build it they will come” but no one will believe in you beforehand?
Don’t care analyzing every situation but it always come down to this: You have to give something to expect to get something back.
There is an argument here that what you are offering may not be needed – the good ol’ supply and demand pattern. Still, what you have to offer is related with how much you benefit others which makes the concept more subjective (= if you can benefit others they will want it)
You are not important – what you have to offer is.
And when everyone wants a piece of you, you should just assume you are on the right path…

Most communities are boring – from a distance they are like gray puzzles made out of rectangular pieces.
Needless to despair, there is always a hidden beauty, waiting to be discovered. You may sense it and you may have witnessed other people confirm it but still be uncertain if you can find it.
Some people call it inspiration
Some people just creation
Regardless…
If you’ve experienced life and feel you’ve ascertained a certain perspective, sooner or later you will need to find a way to express what essentially defines you.
That’s the driving force of all art
Projecting the mental elements that are unique in us is part of being human and an ongoing objective in our lives. It elevates the soul, frees from negative thoughts and leaves back a soothing sensation.
It’s interesting how such an esoteric, even egocentric, behavior can have a positive impact on a person’s psyche – moreover have an impact to the surroundings.
And there comes the mind-bending part. An artwork is ultimately accumulated as beauty of the world. The beauty everyone is looking for already exists and is expressed from within.
{WIP excerpt}
WB tried to transform the Matrix from a smart and rebelling piece of art to a franchise, a trademark, a trend. Understandable, as film studios want to create products that can and will generate immediate income to make their business viable.
…
In part III:
- The Hindu man says (beginning at the train station):
I love my daughter very much. I find it to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
But from where we are from that that is not enough.
Every program that is created must have a purpose – if it does not it is deleted.
- The Human Agent (towards the end, after he blinds Neo) says:
You’re a symbol for all of your kind Mr.Anderson.
Helpless. Pathetic. Just waiting to be put out of your misery.
- The Architect talks to the oracle at the end:
Oracle: What about the others?
Architect: What others?
Oracle: The ones that want out.
Architect: Obviously they will be freed.
Oracle: I have your word?
Architect: What do you think I am? Human?
Analysis:
The high tech and privileged people leave on the surface (the machine wolrd) while the multicultural minorities live underground, hidden and perused (the zion people).
The matrix can be compared to what TV does to today’s people – paralyzing them by taking their thought off to something entertaining.

Full of green highways and pitfalls.
You may curse your luck for ending up in the bottom of the swamp but the truth is that your bad strokes made you fall there.
You can try to get out of a sticky situation but its going to be difficult.
But if you’re on the highway and stick to it – life can be an easy ride all the way.
You just need some natural talent and put some effort into it and you’ll “play” just fine.
