Matrix – What does the woman in the red dress represent?
The depth and hidden meaning of the Matrix trilogy is truly remarkable. One of my favorite scenes in the first film is when Morpheus is walking with Neo and explaining what the Matrix is, but while Neo is listening, he gets distracted by the beautiful woman in the red dress. So Morpheus asks, “Did you hear me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?” Before Neo can admit that he has been carried away, Morpheus tells him to look again, but this time he sees Agent Smith pointing a gun at his head. So what is the deeper meaning behind this scene? What does the woman in the red dress represent? She simply represents the distraction that interrupts our connection with our goals and the purpose of our lives. This has nothing to do with her gender, it is simply a stupid product of the system and has been created for the purpose of distraction. For us, the women in the red dress come in the form of television, alcohol, drugs, social media abuse, mindless surfing, celebrity culture, pornography, superficial relationships, materialism and a consumerist lifestyle that prevents us from evolving and creating the self we can and deserve. One way to achieve a big future goal that seems like a mountain to us and therefore we have a good chance of giving up, is to look at today, and what changes and new actions we can start and maintain in our daily lives. These small actions will then lead us to the bigger goal as long as we do them systematically and do not give up. Because you need to take small daily steps to reach a big goal, the smartest and most effective approach is to get used to them and, above all, to enjoy the process. This will be another motivation for conquering the next goal. That's where the woman in the red dress comes every day, in a different outfit each time as we said above, to distract you, for five minutes, for half an hour, for an entire afternoon or evening. Many times for weeks or months, only to end up wondering why you didn't achieve your goal (again). The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that successful people have successful habits, unsuccessful people don't. A habit is something you repeat often, until it becomes easy. Your life is the sum of your small daily habits. Good habits clearly bring good results. The thing is that the results of bad habits are usually not immediate and appear later in a person's life. To achieve your goals and what once seemed like mountains, the best option to not give up in the middle of the road is to acquire the right habits that will be empowering and in the direction of your goal. This requires daily discipline, combined with the desire to achieve the goal and the commitment that there will be no exception to any “woman in a red dress” that appears on your way… Whether someone will succeed depends on how good a “driver” the person is. Because life itself is a car with the person as the driver and it depends on how well he knows how to press the brake or the accelerator at the right time. Alexios ….
