Okay, my whole life I have lived in a box it was created by a being/substance outside of the box...?

Question

what attributes can I give to the thing which created the box, in which I live, with out, of course, knowing anything about what lurcks outside of the box.


Thank you for your stars, if you do decide to be generous tonight.
:) (with thumbs up)

Also plese try to explain how I would go about identify this thing, instead of just prasing me, thank you.

You got me up in a corner with that one philosophy.

I say it is created because I see that it is there. In the box I have created many things, so I do wonder how something could just "be" with out something behind it, leading it to "be".

Answer 1

Dude,

Get yourself a box cutter and escape the box. I promise whatever is on the other side has to be better than the inside of a box.

Answer 2

You can't see out of the box but you yearn to know what is there and who made it. One thing to do would be to make up some nice story about how the box was made, perhaps by a loving being who loved you and wanted you to live with him forever.

Another thing would be to observe things about the box and then come up with ideas that explain your observations. Then you could make some predictions based on your ideas and when they come true or not, alter your idea to fit the new information. You wil be surprised at how much you can learn, little by little.

If you prefer the first scenario, that is fine. But don't expect me to think it is true.

Answer 3

Okay, I see were your going with this, lets just say the box is shell and a form of protection for you so you don't harm yourself or others, so we can say this thing has attributes to love you, and protect you

Now lets say the box is created for you to wonder all about him, then you will find ways to discover everything you can, this leads to wanting answers

Now lets call your box the earth and lets say you discover the universe, so will see it all leads to God

Now lets say the box was rules, you would be safe because rules are placed to give you the freedom to live this life without causing harm to yourself or harm to others

basically you give and example of Gods presence.

thank you showing God in two ways, he loves us and want us to discover him

Answer 4

What gave you your initial indication that something created the box in the first place? Is it just an attempt to explain what you feel "must" be so, or did you have some communication with this creator thing?

Answer 5

I have pet hamsters that were created inside the box, and they try to bite my finger when I put my hand in their box. Much like humans to God. Doesn't change anything.

Answer 6

I believe that the box that contains you, has taken a millennium to become what it is. It started as a box that contained only tiny creatures, but over time adapted to the changing environment, which eventually ended up as your box.

Trying to give meaning to a creator of your box is impossible as there isn't one.

I understand that it 'feels' nice and more comfortable to believe in a divine creator, but without any tangible proof for one, why make it up?

Think outside of the box

Answer 7

Why would I think something had to create the box and give it any attributes? If it put me in a box, I think I might believe it hated me.

Answer 8

Figuring out what the box is composed of is the first step.

Answer 9

Ahhh, thinking and questioning. Very good. Sounds like it is time for you to step "out of the box". Think and live around it for a while. That way you grow and learn. Educate yourself. For your realization, I'll give ya the star.

Answer 10

i'm doubtful on the context for this questioning exterior/field. that could desire to make a distinction on how i could respond. i do no longer comprehend your "trepidation" in asking. it fairly is somewhat confusing. regularly, i could say that I actual have subject with 3 of your factors. a million. listening to others. it is extra indicative of team-think of, and regularly exterior the field suggestions get watered down by skill of allowing others to alter them. So, i does not unavoidably say this could be a huge area of my own out of field questioning. Very DEMOCRATIC, very LAUDABLE, yet no longer the excellent thank you to get new suggestions, till each physique interior the gang is an Einstein, and that i doubt it is the case. 2. helping and respecting others whilst they arise with new suggestions. Eh. they could desire to make a case for their suggestions earlier I help them. I know that they warfare yet whilst their thought isn't first rate, i don't sense the could desire to be overly respectful of it. i does not kick them interior the butt approximately it, yet i could be lukewarm on my enthusiasm, possibly. 3. appearing on it incredibly is extra important. Hmmm. uncertain approximately that in the time of any respect. sometimes creativity is its own reward. no longer all innovative suggestions could desire to be acted on. sometimes innovative suggestions are theoretical and upload to a physique of awareness without being positioned into action. different suggestions are for psychological exercising and could merely be shared and debated and positioned on the shelf. lower back, CONTEXT is needed for a extra powerful answer than i've got given.
