Puzzle

Puzzle fascinates me!

In many ways, it resembles what happens around us, and the people around us.

Every right piece would take us a step closer to the picture; so does every wrong piece, as it confirms what is not right.

There are people who like to begin a puzzle by searching pieces for the corners; while others prefer to find corners for the pieces.

There are people who thrive to avoid mistakes right from the very beginning; while others go easy and allow themselves with any mistakes they make.

There are people who only allow themselves to make a mistake once; while others repeatedly make mistakes. Worse are those who repeatedly make the same mistakes.

There are people who prefer to begin from fixing the corners; some prefers to start fixing from the edges; while others simply cruise and fix along without much clues and rules about where they are heading.

There are people who determined to fix with careful calibration; while others simply go along with reckless wild guesses.

There are times we can’t find what we want; there are also times where we keep stumbling across what we do not want.

There are times when the right seems wrong and the wrong seems right. It’s all due to our positioning, perceptions and blind spots at one particular moment.

The amazinging thing that moved me is – despite the very similar in shapes for all pieces, there is only ONE missing piece to each missing part. Comfortably fitted, like Cinderella in her glass slipper.

That’s fate, to me.

A beautifully captivating one.
