Filling the Box

I pressed a button and opened this box. It was empty. I stared at it, and it remained empty. I sat and I thought and I thought and I sat, and yet the box remained empty. I listened to some inspirational music, and yet the box was still empty. I thought maybe I could complain about snow and work, but I'm actually not too unhappy right now, so that seemed pointless, but hell, it might fill the box. But is an empty box such a bad thing? Perhaps if I'd left it closed, I wouldn't care, but now that I've opened this empty box, it seems a grave injustice to close it without putting something inside. But is a box full of nothing any different from an empty one? Sometimes, in my head, yes, and sometimes no. Later I may feel silly. For now, this will do. . .
