Being Stuck in Various ‘Boxes’ Throughout Your Life.

And There is No Escape! Or is There an Escape?

The square–cube law (or cube–square law) is a mathematical principle, applied in a variety of scientific fields, which describes the relationship between the volume and the surface area as a shape's size increases or decreases. It was first described in 1638 by Galileo Galilei in his Two New Sciences as the "...ratio of two volumes is greater than the ratio of their surfaces".[1]

This principle states that, as a shape grows in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area. When applied to the real world this principle has many implications which are important in fields ranging from mechanical engineering to biomechanics. It helps explain phenomena including why large mammals like elephants have a harder time cooling themselves than small ones like mice, and why building taller and taller skyscrapers is increasingly difficult. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)

When I was just a boy, I used to build wooden boxes until I got bored with it and I stopped doing it. I would use my dad’s tools and plywood wood. I would measure the sides, top, and bottom, and then I would saw the plywood until it was finished. I painted the boxes too. Then I would nail or screw the sides, top, and bottom together. I would add on brass hinges in the back and then I would screw in a brass locking mechanism in the front to lock the box. Not I big deal so I thought. My dad told me most people can not do it without making a big mistake. Then decades later, some stranger in a hardware store told me the same thing. He looked at me like I was a gifted person, but I hope that I was gifted for other things besides building boxes in today’s age. Of course, if I needed a trade in the old days, building boxes might have been the way to make money.

There is a whole field of at least one degree of packaging science where students study packaging boxes, cardboard boxes, and other boxes made from all sorts of materials, even up and including plastic boxes. “The Bachelor of Science degree in packaging is a technical and science based program incorporating every aspect of packaging, from materials and processes through systems development and testing.” (Taken off the web.) Human beings all around the globe use boxes of different shapes and sizes to store things, like plastic boxes for storing food to steel boxes for international shipping and transportation. Without square cube boxes, where would we be today?

There are those really huge steel boxes or containers that are used to store everything under the sun for transportation on those huge ships that travel on the oceans and seas from one country to another country. There are so many boxes for so many purposes, but what about boxes or square cubes for human beings? Human beings live on a three dimensional globe called planet earth, but mostly we live and work in boxes, or in square cubes. Let us explore the ways human beings live and work in boxes or square cubes of one sort or another, from the moment we are born to the moment we die.

When human beings are born in today’s world, the tiny baby is placed inside a plastic container which could be considered a box with a clear shell or case. That baby knows nothing about the external outside world. But there it is inside its plastic case in the hospital room which could also be considered a square cube boxed room inside a hospital which could be considered a square cube boxed room made of brick and steel and glass and other stuff too.

As that baby grows up, it quicky realizes that it will spend most of its life inside one sort of squared cube box or another. In other words, it knows that it will be spending a lot of its life inside square cubes made of all sorts of material and sizes. This is true once the child walks up to any school building and when it walks into any school classroom only to discover that every room is a huge box that is shaped like a squared cube. And it is most definitely a square cube, even if it is not technically a box, like a cardboard box. And for at least eighteen years, that child knows that it will be sitting in chairs in rooms that are basically squared cubes, with four walls with a top and a bottom, or a ceiling and a floor.

Without the four walls, there would be no protection from the wind. Without a real floor there would be a dirt ground which would be dirty and it would get wet and muddy during the raining season. Without a ceiling or cover for the square cubed rooms, the weather elements like snow, rain, the sun’s rays, would fall onto the students inside the classroom or adult workers in other buildings that are also square cubes.

This is also true once the student leaves its younger years and it attends a college or university. Oh my, I just paid $20,000 a year to sit again inside a square cube or box until I graduate. And then after graduation I got a high paying job to sit again in a square cube room termed an office inside a bigger square cubed building that is on a street with hundreds of other squared cubed buildings and offices. It just never ends, does it?

Walk down any street in any small town or very large city in the world and all you can see with your own eyes is that there are mainly square cube buildings which is sort of like very huge boxes, but we really do not like to think of them as boxes. But in a way they are like a box, an unmovable box or square cube, with possibly hundreds or even thousand of other unmovable square cube rooms which cost a lot of money to live or work in either as a rental or as an owner.

And the funny thing is, most square cubes or boxes or in other words what are termed professional offices are located within other square cubes or boxes which contain even more square cubes or boxes or offices for people to work and earn money to support themselves and their families, who live in houses or homes which is another form of a square cube or wooden box with different rooms within rooms within a larger main square mainframe square cube box for different purposes, like the square cube kitchen, the square cube living rooms, the square cube bedrooms, the square cube bathrooms, the squared cube garage, and even the square cube shed.

Some homeless human beings live in actual square cubed cardboard boxes which they call home. And that might say a lot for the people who build and make cardboard boxes.

And look at any prison system anywhere in the world. Even more square cubes or boxes or cement square cubed cells with steel rods for doors and widows, if you are lucky. Millions of human beings forcefully trapped within not only the sometimes very corrupt legal system depending on which country or nation you happen in at the moment. But who are also trapped inside their own square cubed cement prison cells, with no chance of escape until a prisoner is let free by the legal system that placed that human being inside a square cubed cement box. And not only that, but even the courtroom is a squared cube or box too. What happens to the human brain, mind, and consciousness when it is trapped inside a small squared cubed brick cell or box for years or even a lifetime? Could the word insanity be the answer?

Wow! Let us go up a little higher, like into outer space to the International Space Station. The International Space Station is sort of like a box from which there is no escape either. Unless you have a space suit on or unless you are traveling back and forth from earth in a space ship. If you are living and working on the International Space Station, you are most definitely living and working in a box form, even if it is not a squared cubed box. What happens to the human brain, mind, and consciousness when it is trapped in a space box for a very long period of time? At least it gets to look out the window at the cosmic universe.

I am glad about one thing. I am glad that human being’s faces and brains are not a square cube. Can you image what that would look like on billions of human beings? Ten billion human beings with the exact square face, except for the color of the face which would be very easy to paint whenever you wanted a different color square cubed face. That is not the way nature and natural biologically works. Thank God for that too!

Or maybe if the human species all possessed the same square cube face and the same squared cube brain, maybe then there would be no more wars based on what everyone looks like. But no, there would still be different religions, different politics, different economics, different thoughts about God and evil, and food, and what is normal sex, sex for making babies versus perverted sex because the squared cube brain would still be an uncontrollable creature. Sometimes it amazes me how so many people think that they are correct about certain issues when they are really mistaken about so many issues.

Right at this very instant, there are billions of human beings sitting or standing, living or working, screwing or not screwing, taking drugs or not taking drugs, plotting strategies for peace or war, praying to a mentally delusional humanly made god or maybe just reading and studying books that have the word god in them. And in all likelihood, they are all doing those activities in a square cube or box, hidden to the world because a good square cube or box is a good place to hide away from the world of billions of people and the weather and from dangerous creatures who may or may not want to eat human beings, “like lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!” (The Wizard of Ox movie.)

In the old days, those days before books, radios, televisions, computers, and smart phones, the human species were forced to live and work without the modern day sense of unlimited access of information. Now, with books, radios, televisions, computers, and smart phones, the sense of unlimited information is being spread all around the globe so every human being can use their brains, minds, and consciousness for something besides being physically placed inside a square cuber or box.

Whether sitting or standing, living and/or working, free from being trapped in a prison square cube cell or being free to walk outside to enjoy the sunlight, or really being trapped in outer space on the International Space Station, the human brain, mind, and consciousness is free to roam back in time within individual personal memories, or back in cosmic time to the past history of the big bang up to the moment of the current human species.

There is also the future too! It does not matter which square cube room or box you are located in currently. You can think about the future. You can be a child in a classroom, but you can still think about the future. You can be in a prison cell, but you can still think about the future, which may or may not be a good thing. You may or may not be a world leader, but you can still think about the future. You may be a parent, but you can think about your child’s future. And if you are like me, you can think about the current and future survival of the human species versus the current and future self-destruction of the human species.

So is there an escape from any square cube or wooden box you may be in right now? Yes there is!

Whether you are young or old, poor or rich, educated or uneducated, male or female, white or black, or whatever color your skin may be currently, you can still think and that is your God given right as an individual human brain. Whether you are in squared cube wooden box, or brick cell, or a real cardboard box, or you are free to walk among the trees and flowers, you can still think if you allow your brain, mind, and consciousness to be free from that square cube or box mentality that you are currently in. Sure, it maybe hell being stuck in certain square boxes, but what other choice do you have except to read, think, and ponder life, God, the cosmic universe, and the afterlife too!

After all, isn’t that what the human species is supposed to do anyway?

Besides, at the end of your life, your biological body will end up in a wooden box and be turned into dust. Or maybe not! Maybe if you learn enough, think enough, and transform your human consciousness into a spiritual consciousness, you will never be in a square cube box ever again!
