    “Rage against the dying of the light”…

    … can look like being the best person you can be, for your own sense of morality/justice, for whatever you believe in, for whatever you feel is what, and how, a decent person should be.

    Even if someone says that altruism is nonsensical or strictly meaningless/impossible, the fact that somebody even aimed toward it is remarkable nonetheless.

    I’m gonna do it, I’m bustin’ out the Architect scene:

    Neo walks to the door on his left chooses to reject the false dichotomy he has been presented.

    The Architect: Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.

    Neo: If I were you, I would hope that we don’t meet again.

    The Architect: We won’t.
