JF, Your threads are the best and get a lot of interesting, helpful convo, so YES start another!
I recommend reading the article? It looks at all the metaphors that include the concept of a pill that lets you either recognize reality or stay in your fantasy.
"The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are pop culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) ."
Seems like in many of our situations we take the blue pill because the red pill is too painful.
