Playing a Part on Life’s Jigsaw Game
Each of us has different perception about life. How one sees life may differ from another. One may see that life is like a wheel – a cycle of life and death. Another may see it differently. We may have different opinions and ideas about life but for me, it is a jigsaw puzzle.
I see life as a jigsaw puzzle because life is an interconnection of people. Every person that I meet is a piece of the puzzle that completes me. Each person is unique, like the shape of every puzzle piece – there is no piece that has the same shape like the other. I cannot afford to lose a puzzle piece for losing a piece leaves the puzzle incomplete. In the same manner, I cannot afford to lose or to disregard someone who I know is invaluable.
Every person in my life is invaluable as I am in their lives. I also play an important role in the lives of the people around me. I am also a unique piece in the puzzle of their lives. I know I am, even though some may not realize it. They may not realize that I have become a part of them and they have become a part of me. Still, I will do my best to perform my role as a part of their lives. Every one then is connected to each other one way or another for they are a part of other people’s lives. Every one of us is interconnected with each other even though we may not be conscious about it.
