Re: The other side of Jesus
Surely children haven't the capacity to think logically or reasonably until they are already in the box?

Re: The other side of Jesus
Ringo said: "It's thinking outside the box, like a child who isn't box-trained yet."
This is metaphorically speaking.
I said: "Do you mean like a child pees it's pants whilst being potty trained?"
This is a literal translation of the same statement.
To be honest, I thought the statement was pulled out of thin air without any thought or logic behind it, but that's only my opinion and I don't usually voice them. I try another angle which doesn't work either. ha ha Thanks so much.

"There's a world of difference between logical/reasonable thinking and in-the-box thinking."
Do you think that in-the-box thinking is not logical? If so, then I think we have totally opposite definitions.
Personally I think it is just a narrow view point, not nessesarily a bad view point or wrong or irrational. Not at all. In-the-box is the normal and out the box is outside what is accepted by the majority.
It depends which side of the fence you are on, don't you think?
