Honestly, I don't hate all of the messages. If you're taking all that literally, though, you're probably nuts.
The other thing is it's not exactly like the matrix is made to be broken. People have been talking about the concept of Maya, that the world as presented to us is nothing but an illusion meant to keep us trapped, for thousands of years.
They claim that the enlightened people the bodhisattvas the jesus's and Muhammad's have broken through the illusion and stayed back to help guide us along the way.
Which is all well and good but that does not mean that breaking the illusion is easy. It doesn't even mean necessarily that it is possible because first you have to prove that an illusion exists and then you have to prove that there is a way to break it, and most people, I believe, go mad along the way.
I said all of that to say, if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way.
Literally just learn more about the world, not because you hate it and want to escape, but because you love it and want to know more about it. The cool thing about the real world is that it has an infinite depth, so no matter how far you go you will always have more to explore. As beings which inhabit only a small segment of the totality of what exists, you're never going to be capable of "escaping" to the "real world" the way that people talk about it, but that hardly means that you have to stay somewhere that you feel trapped.
Fuck yeah!
