People want to know

             Humans follow John Stuart Mill's idea of preferring to lead a conscious life and know the truth rather than live in ignorance and just carry on their lives without asking questions is true. In the world, if people just choose to live under the truth, then their life will be meaningless and there is no reason for them to alive.

             According to the film "The Matrix", Neo had chose to take the red pill and find out what is real. At the beginning of the film, he just always want to back to his normal life and make it more simple, because he did not believe that he was one of the matrix. But finally, even he did not know what will happen in his coming life if he took the red pill, he still choose to find out what he wanted to know. Also the story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", the little girl who called Alice elected to follow the white rabbit and saw what will going on behind the hole. These can prove that whatever is young children or adult, they still want to know.

             Furthermore, referring to the passage "Red Pill or Blue Pill", the author points out that the film "Matrix" had raised a question: Why do we want to know the truth? It is because we are a human being and we have the desire of what the truth is. For instance, why people go to school and get educated? The reason for them is not only to learn more and have better knowledge for their better future, it is also because they want to know what is the truth behind the fact. Therefore, we can know that people want to know and they are willing to find out the reality.

             In conclusion, people used to and they should carry on their lives with asking questions. Otherwise, they will be concealed by everything that which will happen in their life and they will never know the truth.
