We tend to take things as granted and as they are. Most of us are raised and taught not to question things—much like robots, we are built to act in a certain way, behave in a certain way, become a person that is formed by a culture of mainstream behaviour.
Although the term „thinking outside the box” gets thrown around in every other conversation, it is not something that one is taught to do, not even supposed to do. Whenever something is outside the norm, our society and spokesmen become highly suspicious, often ignoring and dismissing ones anarchic methods and ideas.
Many times pigeonhole-thinking is the only route for the masses of willingly uneducated. Unfortunately this often leads to stigmatisation and eventually hate. While this ugly truth is nothing new it still keeps an uncountable amount of potential locked up inside many brilliant minds. Our precious social order and preconceived ideas will be protected at all costs by an army of yes-men. Always remember to keep the Pandoraʼs box locked! but donʼt start complaining when you realise it just might be a dead end.
