What is the Matrix?

Nice article, Farhan. The use of the Matrix as an analogy of Greed as some sort of evil force created by human beings is a bit farfetched for me personally. I think both love and greed are human emotions, feelings. Osama bin Laden, Edhi, Mother Teresa, MLK, Gandhi etc. They did not break away and escape your Matrix. They had the guts to stay within it, fight for love and face the consequences.
There is also a problem with the use of good and evil as adjectives. Isn`t that falling into the trap of the matrix. Some of the machines that form the most powerful components of your matrix are using good vs. evil arguments to further their own objectives.
And remember, Neo can only do that ``superman thing`` in the Matrix.

Excellent piece of writing. The juxtapositioning of facts over fiction are true to its core. However, I do not think that Edhi and Teressa are a very good example of breaking free from the Matrix. They are just another program - the lady in red - which Matrix wants us to see (or be). If one wants to break free of the matrix, soar high, and do the ``superman thing`` like Neo, he has to destroy the Matrix. What is superman thing? Nothing but ``khuddi ka sir-e-nihaaN, La ilaha il-Allah``.

Long live resistance.

this is actually quite wonderful. Seems like the fundos and the capies are really geting it bad here at chowk.
