There are many things in life we care so much of, yet at the end they turn out to be stress and sorrow.
The poet, Moses, in the Bible says, " All our days pass away under Your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. The length of our days is seventy years - or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." (Psalms 90:9-10)
It's so true. The older you get, the more you realize that this world is not so much of a reality; because there is another dimension that is much more real than this world that we live in now.
We call this world - reality, because we can touch, feel, see, smell and hear; is that it? What about things you can't feel and see and hear etc? What do you call it? Don't call it unreal; cuz that makes you sound stupid.
I love how Matrix the movie describes it. Once you take the red pill, you would know what the Matrix is. Neo accepts by swallowing an offered red pill, and abruptly wakes up naked in a red liquid-filled pod, his body connected by wires to a vast mechanical tower covered with identical pods. Neo realizes that the world he is familiar with since birth is no long the world he knows; the Matrix, an illusory simulated reality constructed of the world of 1999, developed by the machines to keep the human population docile.
I mean, this is exactly what Jesus said, "you are in the world, but not of the world..." Paul the apostle also said in Ephesians 2 that we are made alive in Christ as we were dead in our transgressions and sins.
Some people have taken the red pills but regreted like Cypher in the movie Matrix, and we all know about his ending; some just have to move on and save the world just ike what Neo, Morpheus or Trinity does in the movie. There is no turning back whether you like it or not. There is no grey area; no compromise in the Kingdom. Live in the world of "Matrix" and die eternally; or wake up and fight till Jesus comes back again.
