Our eyes show us everything from the day we were first born, to the days of our current lives. Our ears allow us hear all that occurs in the world, from celebrity gossip to the current wars in the Middle East. Makes you wonder has all that you have seen and experienced true, or for that matter even really. What tricks could others of greater authority have upon our eyes, and ears, playing with our minds, making us hear and see what only they want us to hear and see. Makes you wonder if you have control of your own life, or merely living it under the control or deceptions of these government figures. Are we really unplugged or we still just victims made to believe in more conspiracies. Makes us wonder that are the wars that we have gone through for so many years even real, or are they just another cover up to make the people believe in our government and become more dependent upon them. Our government is the strongest power in our world today; they control everything from the media, military, and even the minds of our constituents. Our government tries long hard to control our perceptions and plug us into everything they want us to believe, flowing a well written script just to make an award winning picture for the hearts of their viewers.
To the mind of the people what we see war as may come different to how our government may see things. War to me is that a time of turmoil in which people have to fight and endure to the bitter end for better or for worse. Yet, living during time of war is a very real thing, people dying, families torn to the ground, but could other see as war as type of show. Could war be show business itself only to use to entertain the mob and make them believe in some false hero? A leader who made a country believe to be sucked in a war of terror and the only way to win to fight, yet his time as leader to lead this war is almost up and only the citizens can reestablish his position. Sounds a lot like our world leaders today i.e., President Bush. Our government to seems like a group or writers and directors who only have one goal set to make the perfect shot and film to win the crowd with arrays of shadow wall puppets in front of a lit fire. Makes you wonder doesn’t it, are we really in a war or merely watching a computer simulated shadow puppet show? Some fear the idea that uncovering truths of our government would put us in a predicament, believing if we try to unplug and seek the light truth agents will come to our houses will kill us. So, we shut ourselves in caves and shackle our wrist and ankles to avoid such tribulations out of fear.
Often I feel like our government is constantly feeding us the blue pill regardless media, the news, or even our local city office counselors. I constantly question everything the government has told from the just war of Iraq to the previous conflicts in Vietnam. Are these just another propped war like Albania, just make our world leader look like a glorious hero to the world, again entertaining the mob. Think of a director plugging his viewers into another brilliant rendition of a historical war to bend our perception of our leader as a valiant hero opposed to evil wizard perspective. We constantly take the blue pill not caring what happens as long as it benefit us, plugging ourselves into our computers away from the real world, throwing ourselves into caves with nothing but a bit director’s shadow puppetry on the wall, blocking us from the light of websites that try to reveal the real truths. But in fear of higher chains of command, our powerful feared government we go along with the scripts and play our part in making votes towards our fearless directors and writers. We will always be kept in the dark even with the news media as our insight. But if we learn to unplug ourselves from fear and taste the red pill we can strive to make our opening to see the light and reveal the truth and not the written script of story.

Very nice blog....I can relate to every point you have made here regarding our ears have heard everything and our eyes have seen everything! I knew that our realities are our personal experiences, friends, knowledge and school. But I never thought of it as its everything we have read, seen or heard since we were born. Even though I knew this, as I was reading your blog I realized that what your saying is exactly what I though as well, but in a different context. Wow a different prospective on the same exact observation. As I was read along in regards to the president, current war, previous war and comparing them to film director and audience and trying to create certain type of entertainment. This is a very scary stance to take and I can see why when people get to this point like me, I would like to go back in the cave and hide. It is easier to go and hide in the cave than it is to question the reality of the wars and especially when your comparing it to film directors and entertaining the mob by having these wars. Very good point.....and good comparison to Platos view.
