Mediocrity is the safest way to live in a society like the one of today which wants what is ‘in’ and shuns what is about to begin. Because the diversity in people is so distinguishing, it is tough to place many people in the same category, especially when it comes to carrying out the individuality in one’s lifestyle. Although everyone shares comparable and natural traits, we do not all share the same mind state, except when it comes to the “In- the-Box” personality. Did you know that internal scars can be created inside of the mind when you are gunning for a certain image or longing for acceptance in certain things that many frown upon? Acceptance is one of the many things people outwardly feel that they are resistant towards, yet they naturally invite some form of receipt from others for their doings. Egotistically, we can argue that we could care less what someone says or how they feel but our mortal bodies know better. We care. In fact, we often care so much they we are willing to completely change whatever it was that we were aiming to prove. At this point, we either do outrageously above the original task or even jadedly shut down into this snaillike, loathing creature. Either one of these actions or over reactions could cause the box top to fly open or remain fastened. The “In-the-Box” personality is a figuratively expressed action that forces some type of response that appears to be beyond average expression. There is a way to incorporate the “In-the-Box” theory into your everyday life. Simply compare some of your common actions and traits to the toy in the box. Do you ever get so wound up that you feel like coming out of the box on someone? If so, it’s only natural and now you have something to relate your levels of emotion on. Do you like to operate in an open-box atmosphere or do you prefer to straddle the top and stay unexposed, unharmed? The box theory relates emotions and physical reactions to those feelings. The “In-the-Box” behavior is represented at all times, whether morally or spiritually, selfishly or selflessly, physically, mentally or emotionally- just look outside of your box. ** This is an excerpt from a complete and original editorial that I created on a pondering day**
