THE BOX

You??ve all been asked to do it at least once in your life:

—Think outside The Box??.

Some of you have probably been asked to do this by an Aquarian too (shameless sun sign plug).

But what exactly is —The Box—

I have people in my life who baffle the shit right out of me. I'm talking literally, you know, while on the toilet I'm left making faces that have nothing to do with extricating a stubborn piece of crap out my plumbing because some rogue action of theirs from the day gone by popped into my head while I was peacefully attending to the call of nature.

These people have no imagination. Scratch that, imagination is a little too advanced here (mine's been dulled by rejection).

Let's try intuition, or having a hunch — No, no, still too advanced.

Say common sense! Yes! Common sense!

They lack common sense. Hold on, wrong again. Put your hand in fire it gets burned, that's common sense, no they don't lack that, since self-preservation is number one on their bucket list and to stay alive you need some common sense (or at least people around you who??ve got plenty).

I??ve got it! What they lack is the simple God-given ability to take a deep breath, step back for a second and TAKE A LOOK AROUND THEM. (Do you see how long it took me to arrive at this conclusion?)

Because of these people I think of The Box in this way:

In The Box thinkers are like lab rats in a maze. All they see are the walls and corners. It doesn't occur to them that they have claws and can at least attempt to climb OVER the walls, which in most cases aren't that high or at least use their teeth to test if the walls are made of paper and see if they can try to nibble through.

All that occurs to them to do is to RUN.

The Box to me is a situation that is NOT impossible, but one that spurs people into unnecessary and unplanned action.

But, I may be wrong, which is why this is a forum and I??d like your opinions.

An out of the Box thinker will probably go —Why do you let these people bother you at all? And while taking a crap no less? Oh - and ew!??

To which I reply touche, bro-heim. Touche.

Anyway, what IS The Box?

The box is YOU

Its true though, poor Gemini got lost in pointless mental self-debating and missed the whole point entirely in the process.

What I really mean is that the limitations in thinking imposed to us by conditioning ARE THE BOX, when you manage to see beyond them..then you can get to ideas of a different level.

That is also in fact the reason Aquarius comes after Capricorn; Capricorn is about sticking to societal rules, codes and traditions (in other words: inside-the-box-thinking) while Aquarius is about breaking those society-imposed rules and codes for the advancement of humanity (Out-of-the-box thinking) thats why they're known for their innovative/revolutionary idea's.

That's my protest against Tinypic—

I'm hoping it's outside the box 😛

whoever made that should be hailed as a god, IMO

This guy too.

Spitting infront of u is a 'normal' thing to do/ 1st thing u think of doing- inbox thinking. But, trying/thinking of spitting behind u is outbox thinking. People who think outside the box are always thought to be crazy because they dont do things that 'normal' people do. In other words 'the box' is what is viewed by many as acceptable(normal), outside of the box is 're-re' according to some. Thats just my opinion..
