12 Things Doctor Who Has Taught You Better Than Your Parents
7. Everyone Is Bigger On The Inside
An archaic police box collecting dust, its paint peeling and faded, may seem the most dull, unobtrusive object sitting on a deserted street corner. Tucked inside, however, is infinite possibility across time and space. All you need is a key and a bit of imagination to access its inconceivable wonders, just waiting to be unlocked. That's something to mull over the next time you absent-mindedly stroll past an inconspicuous police box. The relic may very well be a time machine... or an ordinary box. It all depends on who opens the doors. When you think about it, people function in the much the same way. Hasty in judgment, we tend to surmise about each other based solely on first impressions and outward appearance, snapshots of a personality that in no way encompass its entirety. Sometimes, a bit of patience and open mindedness can disprove your initial thoughts, unhinging the barriers of prejudice and bigotry to reveal endless potential for insight and newfound friendship. When it comes to understanding people, think outside of the box to see inside the person. It's quite simple, really.
Anna is an aspiring writer who has an incurable obsession with Doctor Who. When she is not writing about Doctor Who, she's watching favorite episodes and contemplating what to write next. When she's writing about Doctor Who, she anticipates her reward: watching yet another Doctor Who episode. She also manages to read science fiction (especially Ray Bradbury), recite lines from Shakespeare's Macbeth, and make terrible puns in her free time (she likes to imagine she has great puntential, though)
