The box is a cage we have built to protect us from the elements. We dwell in the illusory safety of the cage, afraid of the world we have alienated. We are trapped, like animals in a zoo. And we call this cage civilization - what an inappropriate term for it. People who live in the world live by the elements. They recognize the world for the living thing that it is. They do not resist the natural state of life. They have escaped the trap by accepting that it is a trap. They do not struggle against it.
