Dog boxes and shoulder shrugs

SO, we have all been in the dog box and it's usually seen as a bad thing. But I like the dog box. I get to be alone in the dog box. I get to sit and "think about what I have done". I get to be locked away in safety while the festering continues around me.
It's basically like a reflection box, really. I imagine myself on top of a mountain, shrugging off the mess I made for myself. I have a much better perspective from here than when I am right in the thick of it. I am beyond the immaturity that surfaces when the ego has been bruised. I have the time to find the clarity I need to change MY perspective on the situation.
It's probably the most useful box to have in existence. Plus the name is so cool too. ANd who doesn't love dogs. I don't mind being a dog for a day. Life seems so much simpler as a dog. And at the end of the day, no one can resist the puppy dog look you give when your reflection time is done. They will forgive you.
They feel that they have punished you, and you feel like you managed to dodge the flying bullets..win-win!
