The Missing Pieces

Life seems like a jigsaw puzzle at times to me…. We in a frenzy trying to search for all the lost and matching pieces to give it a sense of fulfillment, a sense of completion…. The pieces in countless shapes and sizes reflecting the myriad colors of life: pleasure, sorrow, envy, love, accomplishment, faith and so on……
But then why aren’t we ever able to find all ends and make this jigsaw puzzle complete…. Is it because they don’t exist or is it because we haven’t just tried hard enough to find them and put them in place…..
Maybe the answer is ‘NO’ to both the above conjectures,,,, we spend our lives trying hard (or that is what we would like to believe that we gave it our best shot), but yet we fail… the sense of completion never comes….

I guess here lies the stark difference between our approach to life and to a simple puzzle game. All throughout our life, we just strive to find the bright colors, the colors which our vivacious and full of life…. the pieces that reflect our dreams, our aspirations and those which give us joy and pleasure. We go on adding those and increasing the web of the puzzle……. But then we forget that the pieces that reflect pain, sorrow, jealousy, blockheads, etc. are a part of this larger web and cant be avoided….they are needed to fill the missing spaces…. They tag along with these ‘Happy Pieces’ and keep on filling the unoccupied space…..
So the next time when you wonder why are u going thru this ,,, remember to cherish those sorrow, pain and fear… for a brighter, colorful jigsaw piece is awaiting somewhere down there to complement this one :)
