This world is driving me crazy because I am awake. I can see what goes on behind the scenes. I have started to see through the veil.
The medias brainwash us all, without caring about our lives. The system wants to minimize our capability to rebel, undermining our intelligence, boycotting the only tool we can use to stand against this evil system: knowledge. They are taking culture away from us. What TV promotes nowadays is violence, hate, sex, money, promiscuity, blindness, lies. They constantly sell lies to us.
This is why we all need to wake up and fight this system.
I will use quotes from the movie "The Matrix":
"Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?
Neo: You could say that.
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix.
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind."

An amazing scene from the movie The Matrix, an amazing message brought to us all by a movie that's not just a simple movie, but represents what many philosophists and scientists told us.
This movie represents most of my beliefs about the world, that we are living a wrong life, that we're all slaves to a system which works hard to prevent us from looking beyond the veil, the veil of Maya, the big "illusion". Hinduism first, philosopher Schopehnhauer later got it right. "The World as Will and Representation", that's the name of his very well known work. Reality as our own representation.
The world as we know it is just a dream.
We all have the power to pierce the veil and see beyond it. We all are able to see past the phenomenon and look right into noumenon, the "essence" of things. Is there a limit to reason? Not exactly. Human brain has an enormous potential we need to unlock through our entire lives, that's the REAL purpose of earthly life, we need to become Übermenschen (Super-humans, Above-humans) and stand above the asleep masses, the sheep, the blindness and darkness of ignorance and conformity. I already took this big step of my personal path to find the inner light and knowledge.
Then, we will become one again with the Universe, with our primordial creator, with the essence of things. Death is the ultimate way to totally pierce the veil, something that, when it comes, it saves us from this trap I call "physical world".
This is my personal philosophy. Feel free to admire it or criticize it. Comments appreciated.

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?
Morpheus: You've never used them before.

Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Morpheus: What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.

Neo: No, I don't believe it. It's not possible.
Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
