I just finished watching The Matrix Reloaded and see so many illustrations of eternal truths. I wonder if those who made these films realized this. Indeed, God does show up in our stories, films, music, art, and even science. And why not? God can show up anywhere and anytime.
An eternal truth that really sticks out to me is choice. Humans have the ability and freedom to choose. There are those who will say that choice may be an illusion. They may say we are slaves to a system of causality. For every action there is a reaction. This is true for everything in this universe, however what sets humans apart from all other life is the question of "why". Why do we choose this over that? Why does this happen? Most of the time I do not know why. Why does it rain on the day we are going to travel, but be sunny and clear on the day we stay home? I have no idea, but I do believe everything happens for a reason. In the film, there is a scene where Neo is talking with the Oracle and she asks him if he knows why he made the choice. So many times we already know what we are going to do. We have already made the choice. The important question is...why?
