Towards the end when Agent Smith and Neo are battling inside the matrix and it looks like Agent Smith has won the battle, Neo stands up again to him…
Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can’t win. It’s pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?
Neo: Because I choose to.
Our minds are so powerful to choose to stand after we take a beating. Our minds can choose to let the negative stay or go. Our minds can choose a different path than yesterday. If only we choose to. Forgive those who hurt us so they have no more power over out thoughts, actions, or our lives and then we can move on and be free of them. Focus on positive things. Believe in the impossible. Believe in the unending love and power of the Almighty. All possible if we choose. So amazing. Choose life.

You know I do believe there is something out there. over 2 years ago I met someone who was talking to me about it an he explaind if you believe you can change your life if you had faith and then you could easily follor the “signs” he also got me into heavy meditation. Well one the very nights I was going to hang myself I read something and I thought wow this is what I have been waiting for and it was strange cuz I met my soul mate that night. At first it was weird, he would send me email at like 2 am and I would dream I got an email and wake up intantly and look and there would be his message. He was shy and was going to just leave a message for me saying goodbye but I would dream I got an email and would wake up everytime just in time. Soon he said I was freaking him out that I was a m ind reader lol and that he did believe in god because of all that stuff. Now we are living togheter for a year now and he has sold his home and quit his job to move 600 miles to be with me. An even tho im now more happy than I ever have been it still didn’t cure my mental illnesses lol so I still get depressed a lot
Some people shouldn’t be forgiven.
@sage – Yes, there are some bad apples out there but forgiveness is not about them, it is for us so our hearts can heal and move on releasing the power these people who have hurt us, releasing their hold on us. As long as we hold onto that hurt, anger, bitterness then we are poisoning our souls. Forgive them and move on. They will be held to account for their actions whether in this world or the next.
@iamsara – Having belief in God is the big realization we need to come to that he exists and is real. But it doesn’t end there. It is a start. For ourselves and our own spiritual development, we need to have that personal intimate relationship with him which has to come first in our lives if we want to have the peace that passes all understanding truly to reside in our hearts and minds. It is a daily process to yield to him and say ok, Father, your way and not mine today. We have to renew our minds from countless years of putting this world’s value into it which are contrary to God’s laws. Your man came to you for a reason. This walk with God can be one where both of you can walk together. The basis for a happy union that is blessed of God is having the same belief system. It takes a commitment to study his Word and prayer everyday but you will find that the more you do that then your depression will lift like the dark clouds that break after a storm and the rainbow can be seen and then the sunlight warms us.
