Boxes of Brains

We are encouraged to think outside the box; Unfortunately, outside is the unknown. The brave swap their box for a much bigger one, However wise or well educated we think we are, The package you have chosen will become too small. And come to the realization, That all strong boxes have lids.

Hey Shirley….this poem has made me think. So are you saying that no matter what we choose\do in life be it small ,big or whatever we are all strong and equal but some humans are greedy? That is my perception? but I’m not sure if it’s yours haha? Debxx

I agree, Deb; the poem is about the opinions we form with the brains we were born with; some people's minds are like closed boxes and stick with the same ideas; others open their minds and try to understand more ( needing a giant box), There will never be a "Brain Box" intelligent enough to understand the world we all share.
