Are you in a box right now? What's outside of it?
Do you know anybody in a box? What kinda crazy shit would they say if they thought outside of it?
Have you ever lived outside the box or are you always just finding yourself in continuous layers of boxes (at least you got outside that last box) until you say, "Fuck it, I DO live outside the box."
Do you live outside the box, but carry little boxes with you for contrast and fun?
What would happen if everybody just lived outside the box?

Truthfully, I think we all live inside a box. It might be a different box to most people, but we are still within our own box, defined by our current worldview.
I have a friend who is very 'outside the box' in terms of his lifestyle and thinking, but he is still VERY firmly entrenched within his own box. I know this because he is virtually unable to process new information that does not sit comfortably with his existing beliefs. He rejects it outright, and as a result his views never change.
We all do this to a greater or lesser extent - it's called 'cognitive dissonance'. The important thing is to recognise it in ourselves, and avoid the tendency to reject new ideas etc just because they don't fit comfortably with our existing ideas.
If we are open to new ideas, our box will EXPAND and becoming more all-encompassing over time.
Afterall, there is at least a grain of truth in everything.
bubbles though, I think I miss those, or perhaps the bubble I am in is in a pinball machine, and theirs no other bubbles/balls, and I am the one in control of the pinball machine
