Real might is present when someone is right, the rule holds.

But in our world, the physics of the rule are unwritten and we are what we are.

Neo, the matrix is that All your years have been a lie, and the system that has
raised you has betrayed you in to slavery, exists solely to reduce a human life
in to a powerplant for its system.

neo: No, Morpheus No, its only been the last 6 years.

Morpheus: Neo, do you think anything about the past has to do with the past?
Do you think that's air you're breathing?

neo: Then its all been a lie?

Morpheus: Its very simple, here it is: 'Don't identify with the "I" thought.'

(neo realizes he has always been awake)

Yes, I still believe good concurs evil, just seems to take a while!
