I am the Architect

Sometimes I get an epiphany that really I am the Architect (refer Matrix trilogy) if this world is the Matrix. This isn't a feeling of godliness, no it isn't! Rather it is the phase when I believe that I can control, certainely the things which are important to me. So in a way everyone is an architect of one's own Matrix. And no matter what the Oracle says, one end's up where the Architect wants. In a simple way it can be said that yes I am my own Architect, but I don't know on what bricks I am building my future.

So even If I am designing my own future, there are always people like masons and engineers, materials like bricks and cement which actually shape the strength of it. In this process of building I will come across people whom I have to initially trust, and if it happens that my house falls down, or doesn't look as pretty as I thought it would, I would have to change my level of trusts amongst my various colleagues. So its okay to be once bitten, but its excellent that you kill the beast next time.

But then I think there are other people who do not want to take the pain to be their own Architects, and they never like the things other people build for them. They are the mentally lazy beings who have a singular job to crib. But it is not their fault, a hired Architect wont have the same personal touch that one can have on his own.

Then there is nothing which can stop me to be my own Architect if I want to. Besides, well, a revolution, because a revolution always brings down some houses, how strong they might have been built. Right, then you have to be plain lucky to survive. You have to miss the lightning.

Lightning never strikes the same place twice, but the light is always engraved in the minds of the people who see the strike.
