So, what you're saying is...

It’s interesting how cultures attain sayings like “thinking outside the box” and “easier said than done.” Although the meanings of these sayings are not lost to me, I don’t think they are as effective at making the point than some think.


First, “thinking outside the box,” really? So, you want to say someone, perhaps you, is not thinking in a normal way, not strapped by the normal process of thoughts. That’s great, but perhaps you could put a little more thought into the saying. Saying “thinking outside the box” is as about “inside the box” as you can get.

Second, “easier said than done.” What is not easier said than done? I guess breathing subconsciously might be easier done than said, but comparing that to lifting two tons of salt with your pinky toe is quite absurd.
