When we live in and of the world we develop a deluded clinging to a certain sense of existence (i.e. social status), to selfhood, or to the material things or phenomena that we consider the cause of happiness and comfort (or unhappiness, depending on how you look at it). That being said, suffering ends when craving ends, then one is freed from desire. I'm not a Buddhist or anything, but I do believe in Buddha's philosophy of living, which is to free your mind from the Matrix, as you so aptly put it.

Today he sponsored pizza in the office. Some might say, "that's nice of them to do that", but what they fail to realize is the hidden message. (We want you to work all day and not go out for lunch. Just eat at your desk while you work.) Cord, I feel you, but I will have to blame it on Mr. C. Today he sponsored pizza in the office.
