Agent Smith: "We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist. It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides us. That drives us. It is purpose that defines us. Purpose that binds us."

Sounds like a very fine philosophy for life...it is a pity they were not allowed to flourish. I particularly liked this quote: "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." The correct solution always yields the answer in more than one domain. The more problem domains and the more diverse those domains, the more confident we can be of the solution. Thanks for the link. This was a good read. en.wikipedia.org ST
