In the "Box Man", the box man chooses his solitude. His lifestyle choice is against what society believes should be. Being alone and being lonely are two completely different concepts. "Being alone" is a physical aspect, and only physical. Everyone experience physical "aloneness" every now and then in their life. Being "lonely" is something that is rarely experienced by every single person, and is a feeling that is often forced upon the individual. Loneliness is forced upon a person when they lose their loved ones in their life. They don't choose to exclude themselves from people, but rather, they are no longer able to be near the people they care about. The box man is different. He chooses his solitude, so he doesn't feel any pain about not being near his loved ones. He teaches all of us a lesson that we should appreciate the people that we have with us in our life.
