Red Pill or Blue Pill: Is Ignorance Bliss?

In the article Red Pill or Blue Pill  by Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmson explain how humans approach the truth, which is not easy to deal for everybody, some people believe its better to live without knowing the truth because they want to stay in control, while others seek answers.

 because the people as the character Neo  from the movie The Matrix has intelligence to find answers to his doubts.
Intelligence and education is well demonstrated in the movie "The Matrix" where Neo is a master in computation a person with a good education, that is why Morpheus choose him and believed that he was the one he sought to free everybody from The Matrix, So Morpheus had been looking for a person who can and is willing to seek the truth and a person who choose the red pill that would help him see the truth and free him from the Matrix. Neo’s educations involves a reeducation of his senses, this shows what some scientists have said that human beings do not use the whole brain in their lives.
.
Neo was seeking answers, the reason for seeking this answer is he is aware of certain things; they cannot teach some things to children than adults is easy to discern, is so that children generally are told where babies come from making up stories like that are brought by the stork or come from Paris, Because at that age are not able to understand sexuality as understood an older person.

Just as some people cannot handle the truth as in the movie "The Matrix" a character named Cypher which betray comrades, Because he preferred to live in the matrix than the truth, this is how it is shown that is not a bliss ignorance .

Neo- Find answers because he is curious
Cypher - He doesn't want to know because he wants control.
