The individual did themselves. Think phobias and habits, thoughin many respects it does look like the chicken and the egg syndrome.

So what do you think of this statement in relation to The Matrix.

Code:

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
Irish dramatist &amp; socialist  (1856 - 1950)

chicken and the egg syndrome?.... true enough. to question and analyse our existence is what makes us human. hue-man. the illuminated animal. the only aspect of creation that conciously decides his or her interaction with its environment/atmosphere. "serenity".... some aspects controlled, others subjective or uncontrollable.finger prints. the perfect imperfection. minute flaws in all of creation which; in turn; allows it to evolve. natural selection. from predetermined psychological/ physiological traits or tendencies, to nurtured habits and complexes supported and groomed by culture, religious influence, etc.no absoluteswill ever be achieved at any level based upon our "etheric" or "divine make-up".....yet to exercisingour abilities at "will" is what makes it all worthwhile. for if but any purpose our lives manifest as they do, it is because we are "alive". bellowing and bursting at the seems with energies still yet to be completely tapped, and never to be completly understood. too complex; not by far; too simple. far too simplefor the mind to register a thoughtsmall enoughfor it to be grasped. logic in itself, is infinity by comparison.... battling to maintain our own existence in a manner which we see fit; each aspiring to reign as the elite........and in the process of our journey, all we achieve isminuteprogression in an eternal cycle.......construction, destruction, and conversion.....fromone form of energy to the next.sound, light, and time.

i haven't been in a good cypher in a while. hope i didn't get off the subject.blkwriter

Hmmm, can't really find too much fault in that statement.
