Blue pill

I was recently thinking that there isn't a debate between idealism and realism, and then realized it's literally the the red pill vs the blue pill. I blame myself for never watching The Matrix.

I remember this conversation I had with my brother about the ending of "Persona 5 Royal" (Spoilers ahead). I never played the game, but he explained to me that the protagonists had the choice to live in a perfect world, a world of lies, where they could have everything they ever wanted; or returning to their own world. Maybe he didn't explain this fully, maybe I'm wrong, but I just couldn't conceive why would you rather choose to live in the real world rather than the perfect world. 

I am blue-pilled, I've always been. If I don't see it, it's not there. I don't read the news, I don't actively investigate about tragedy, crime, illnesses. I am not only a happy person, but also a blessed one, because these bad things somehow haven't happened to me. I suppose I can thank my parents for making me a pretty tame person. I don't drink, or do drugs, or wander around at night, or get into fights. I'm very obedient, I don't defy the authorities, I am a conformist. I basically live in my own little utopy, and shy away from the bad things going on in the world that I live in.
