Cage In for Dummies

Alright, so imagine a "cage" being like a big metal box with bars all around it, right? And when we "cage in" something, it's like we're putting it in a box or a small space and not letting it go outside of that space. So, the word "cage in" means to confine or restrict something or someone in a limited area, like a bird in a cage or an animal in a zoo. It's like you're not letting them have the freedom to move around as they want.

Another way to think about it is like when you're playing a game and you have to stay in a certain area, like a designated "cage" on the playground. You're not allowed to go beyond that area, you have to stay inside. That's kind of like "caging in" yourself.

So, that's basically what "cage in" means - it's about trapping or restricting something or someone within a limited space, like putting a limit on their freedom of movement or action. And that's something we definitely don't want to do to others, right? We all want to have our own freedom and space to move around and do the things we like. So, we should always try to be mindful of not "caging in" others or ourselves.
