Thinking outside the box. This is a phrase that has been thrown around for decades already. Yet it still raises questions. What is “thinking”? Where is “outside”? What kind of a box? Read on and be inspired!
“Wait a minute”, you say to yourself, “I think I already saw a chapter about boxes in an article on this site!” You click the link and realize it leads to a different article; nothing to do with any kind of boxes. You are completely done with this site already – and still you read on. You want to find some kind of justification for my writing this article, or, as is more likely, good reasons to tell everyone our articles suck. Let us find out which way up it will settle itself.
Thinking, as we all know, is a process hard to define. The QuantumBones workforce alone has already written at least four articles about thought processes and hasn’t even found out where the surface is, let alone scratching it. This is completely amazing – yet not quite so surprising as one should think.
When we think of thinking, our mind immediately throws itself off. This cannot be helped. It is an in-built mechanism within the human psyche which we know to be a mess. But what kind of a mess? This bears closer scrutiny.
At this point I will have to draw your attention to something. Despite being brilliant, I am not in the least qualified to give any credible lectures about the human psyche. This is why the article is already rambling without any clear direction. It annoys me, too. I don’t know which of us is more annoyed, you or I. Perhaps I will never know.
