More boxes

My previous post about boxes got me thinking, yes I know a dangerous place to be.



Have you ever noticed how we automatically put the people in our lives into boxes, sort of a mental filing system. Freinds here, lovers here, work colleagues there and so on. We do this totally without thinking, we do it when we meet someone and occasionally someone gets moved from that very firstbox to another. I started thinking about how we catergorise the people in our lives and how we choose the labels that we assign to them. I wish I had the answer but I dont. Although now that I've thought about it, I'm going to pay more attention to how I classify the people I meet and those already in my life and maybe I can work out how I pick the boxes I put them into.



And maybe, just maybe I will find an answer or maybe even think twice before I put someone in a box just because of what they look like, who they are with, what they wear or some such silly thing.



I may not be able to avoid boxes, but I'm sure gonna look twice at whats in them and what I put in them.



Living in a box, laughing at a box, learning about boxes and loving whats in some of my boxes.
