Is the box full or empty? You decide.

What was really in that mystery box? It it my guess that there was nothing but possibly a penny or something very small in it but that is besides my point. Your whole life is a mystery box waiting to be opened because you never know what is going to happen until it happens. You can't prepare yourself for what is going to happen 20 years from now, and you had no way of preparing yourself for what has already happened. Life is exactly like the mystery box, no one has any knowledge about how your life will turn out. People believe that God has our life set out before we are even conceived but how do we know that is actually true? It is what ties ethics into our knowledge because although we are told that, we have no evidence to support it but people still believe it. The mystery box of life could be filled with absolutely nothing and if it actually existed, people would believed it might possibly contain the answers to any question asked. We don't always use all our areas of knowledge to prove that we actually know something. Most of the time, we only use certain areas depending on what we are trying to prove. The mystery box will never be opened because they nysteriousness of it is what makes it important. The fact that we cannot plan for the future because things change or the fact that we cannot change what has already happened. It is important to understand that there is a mystery box in everything we do because really, if you think about something long enough, you will not come up with an answer or a conclusion, you will simply find yourself asking more questions (atleast that is what I find myself doing sometimes).
