"I saw the loneliness of man as a gigantic wave which had been frozen in front of me, held back by the invisible wall of a metaphor."

But that ain't a bad line.

"The Matrix triolgy sums up effectively in my view, the illusions created by the Human race. EVERYTHING....everything we have been taught is lies and distortion. It can take a lifetime or one solitary moment to identify that fact and when one does, it's as waking from a dream, so obvious that you can't fathom why you were ever in it in the first place. And so, so lonely when all around you still live in that dream and credit you with insanity because you don't."

Tke Matrix Trilogy as a sort of Holy Text.

And then what happens? How does the story end? What does the protagonist do after that?

Or has the essential loneliness...merely wrapped another wave of metaphor around itself?

Um, do you really expect that a single soul will actually read that?

no, but if one did, it would show brains enough to do so.

and if one answered with depth, it would show intelligence.
which this board seems to mostly lack.

No, I think your posting of a huge chunk of another's writings, without attribution and without comment, on a board that frowns on such things, and on one's first day here, shows a lack of intelligence, or at least, reasoning power.
