What would be the better choice: Red Pill or Blue Pill?
In the Matrix Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill which will answer the question "what is the Matrix?" and the blue pill simply for life to carry on as it did before. As Neo reaches for the red pill Morpheus warns Neo "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."
Neo and the Matrix is just used for imagery. This is not a debate on whether Neo made the right decision or not. This is a basic philosophical question: Is mankind better off living, by all definitions, in blissful ignorance or full knowledge?

I would snatch both pills from Morpheus' hand (like when the Grasshopper grabbed the small stone from his master's hand in Kung-Fu) and swallow them both before he even had a chance to blink. I have spent many teenage years being sick because of this philosophy and wouldn't recommend it to anyone ;) Side: Red pill

Blue. Only because I like my life, and that's all that matters. Take Neo for example, he was bored and worked in this tiny cubicle and probably hated his job. So naturally he took the red pill. ..and because it was necessary to the plot. (; So it depends on if you like your life the way it is now. Side: Blue pill
