P. 51

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead only try to
          realize the truth.
          Neo: What truth?
          Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
          Neo: There is no spoon?
          Spoon boy: Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

          On the internet, "There is no spoon” means something is regarded as nonsense.
          However, the spoon really exists in the Matrix, which actually means it doesn't exist
          as a physical object.

          This is an important lesson for Neo, to help him realize that manipulating the Matrix
          isn't about focusing on an object and trying to change it. After all, the object doesn't
          exist, so he can't change it. His focus must be on changing himself. Metaphorically,
          it's all in his head - he has to look inside to exact any control, to bring about even the
          smallest change.

          What exactly is a credit freeze?


          A credit freeze allows you to seal your credit reports and use a personal
          identification number that only you know and can use to temporarily “thaw” your
          credit when legitimate applications for credit and services need to be processed. The
          added layer of security means that thieves can’t establish new credit in your name
          even if they are able to obtain your personal information. And it is easy for some to
          get your personal information due to Google, Facebook and other programs.

          Freezing your credit files has no impact whatsoever on your existing lines of credit,
          such as credit cards. You can continue to use them as you regularly would even when
          your credit is frozen.


          Freezes have been available for free to victims of identity theft for some years, but
          recently all three of the major credit bureaus adopted new rules that now allow non-
          victims to have access to credit freezes as well for a small fee. In addition, most
          states and Puerto Rico have adopted laws establishing credit freezes for residents of
          their state.
