If I were presented with the same dilemma as Neo at the beginning of the Matrix, it would seem beyond obvious that taking the blue pill would be the right choice. CMV.

The only circumstances where I might reconsider were if I were currently living under inescapably bad conditions that warranted escape. I guess this is why this seemed more perplexing in middle school.

As an adult, though, I can't imagine throwing away everything I treasure just to know the "truth". I've learned lots of true things about the world and reality so far, and the only ones which did not have an big impact on me or did not depress me were the ones which pertained to my life in particular. I don't remember much of the film series itself, so perhaps you can Change My View on these grounds, but even peeking at life behind the red pill, who's to say that life absent the Matrix is going to be any better than the illusion which it sustained?

I thought Neo was unhappy with his life at that time? Also after being chased by several agents for no reason, having a bug implanted on you, and then getting kidnapped by strangers who remove the bug, are friendly to you while offering you the "truth", will probably fuck up your sense of judgment.
