A RAMBLING BOX

I watched a movie the other day and something caught my attention and has now been stuck in my head since. It seems to be a bit sad… but yet there is so much truth in it, I cant stop really deeply contemplating it. Think of a box. The image is easy to bring up in your mind… It seems simple enough but how often do you think of a box? According to Merriam-Webster, a box as a “container with or without a cover”. Honestly, it should consume your life a bit and we never really think of it unless we are packing something. Yet, we are born in a box, live in a box, drive in a box on wheels, and we die in a box. We get our food in boxes. We stare at a box all day, if its not a phone it is the TV. We find most of our entertainment in a box: movies, theaters, gaming systems, computers, tablets, pools and even things as big as Broadway! Most reading is done in boxes now with e-books. Our lives are spent revolving in a box, even our bodies could be considered a box for our soul. You can even break down the above things… How many boxes do you have in your home? Each room, closet or cupboard. Our box phones have apps contained in boxes. We lay on boxes to sleep. The term “think outside the box” is used describing the brain, to tell people to think beyond what our minds normally think. Is it strange to just realize this? How our lives seem to be spent in a box. No matter what we do, we will always be in a box. As sad as it does seem, I will make the best of my box! I hope you do as well! Till next time, love and light always and good vibes to all (even if they are in a box!!)
