Puzzles

Recently I bought myself a puzzle. You know, like the ones they sell in bookstores – representing beautiful pictures or photographs and with hundreds of peaces. When I got back home I was eager like a child to put it together, frame it and hang it on the wall, but after a few days of hard work I was unpleasantly surprised – some peaces were missing form it and I could no longer fulfill my intentions.So while I was putting it back into its box, this strange idea occurred to me – it`s like one`s life. Come to think of it, it`s particularly like the life of the tipical person nowadays – something`s missing.

I started by separating the end peaces to mount the frame, and we all have one made for us by our parents or maybe faith( we could argue about that one).Then what I did was to divide the rest of the parts according to their colour shades and after all, one`s got different “ingredients” too. Friends are different form family members, hobbies from work occupation, but somehow, sooner or later they fit in together.

And after time the problem with the missing peaces emerges. These, is obvious, are distinct for every personality, but are things we lack of and are embarrassed to admit we really need. I believe you would agree with me when I say that`s also the reason why we never put on display a puzzle with missing peaces. Because no one`s going to appreciate it and all the questions would be connected to the blank spaces and not the the beautiful landscape or portrait it actually is.Mirroring this in real life we (if you`re not afraid to admit you`re missing something too) aim at keeping our flaws, failures and even success, yet to come, in the background and are ashamed to discus them with anybody.

Now I`m not exactly the right person to give advice about what to do in such situations. But I could perhaps suggest that you, who feel your life`s not complete, should once again look in the box or check everywhere around you. Who kows, you just might find those “problematic” missing parts under your bed.
