Are we talking about it in terms of psychology?

Well, if you could physically compartmentalize yourself, that would be horrifying. >_>

I mean that we keep aspects of our lives in neat little boxes, and our friends and family get placed in those boxes, and we are never willing to be open enough to keep everything in the same box. It's how we have multiple faces, have secret lives, why we lie.

This compartmentalization, I believe, is a major source of distrust with all of the boxes.

It is also an issue of theology, when we keep God in the God Box and hope that he never disrupts the happiness and vanity of our normal lives.

I suppose it'd be horrid, but some will find it fun, heh (in not so serious way, if someone is like that in real life, perhaps... time to assess the issue). I think it happens almost inevitably and automatically. Ever since Adam and Eve first tried to hide from God, there's our tendency to just keep things 'organized'. For example, you might not share with me things that you share with others. So, we are virtually (or really) never willing to be open completely without making tons of different boxes or folders and never take them out until it is needed. And yes, compartmentalization is a major source of distrust. I can tell you that is the case from the experience.

And, I wonder if there's any box fit to contain God. Heh, just poking fun. But yeah, I believe another term would be 'Sunday Christians'. I cannot say I am 100% free of this as with flaws I have, but I try or will try my best to make it not the case.

And, I wonder if there's any box fit to contain God. Heh, just poking fun.
But really, if you have a "God Box," it's empty.

My point is that I don't hide things from you. If you want to know something, I'll give it to you. But I don't compartmentalize you or my other friends.

And "saved-by-Sunday" Christianity is sick. I hate it.

Oooof, compartmentalization is one of those things that I've always struggled with. That and internalization, but that's another issue that sometimes crosses over.

But I have been improving a bit here and there at times.

*nods*

Compartmentalizing kinda prevents me from actually knowing people and that breaks my heart. :/ There's not enough time alive to dilly-dally with those kinds of things.

*hugs*

Good to see you on FA.

Aye, and I'm probably more susceptible than most as my general approach in life has always been the 'find a way to stand alone' path and that tends to incur alot of mutually exclusive stuff.

*returns all kinds of hugs as well in kinds* Aye, yeah I don't really do alot of stuff on FA, haven't really been busy here.

Yeah, I noticed, lol. Your presence is minimal.

And I appreciate you, just so you know. :3

Yeah, every once in a while I think about just spilling out and trying to elaborate what goes on in my head. But I don't think that I need to show the world the image of a cat horking up a metaphorical hairball XD

Well, at some point that hariball needs to come out. >_>
