For me it's like teasing an animal. There's light at the end of the tunnel, but literally right before I reach it, it turns into more tunnel. And many of the positive things I have were only given to me to be taken away.

Everyone gets super angry when I bring these things up. It's as if they're all in on it and don't want me to find out, so they tell me, "don't you dare think about that stuff!!!!". I even have a link to a time when it happened on saidit. Someone just blew up for no reason because I talked about this. The level of anger was completely unprecedented.

That is disproportionate to the matter. Nauseous angrier and angrier.... I don't get responses like that but I do think very often that there is something trying to keep me from seeing a truth it takes a different form with me then what your experiencing with the anger... But no less real. There really is kind of startling how much vitriol that individual had.

And that's how most people react. In real life too. Not everyone does, but it does appear to be an instinct. All I can think of is maybe they don't want to think about the possibility that their whole life and the whole world is a lie. Everyone is in denial about the sad state of the world, either claiming it's not true or trying to justify it. But in person their reactions to this subject seem more knee-jerk, so I don't think they even know why.

Yeah... The matrix is okay as a movie plot.... But people don't want to think about it being the actual State of affairs
