When
I first saw this puzzle I immediately thought of numerous directions
I could go for this article.. For example, I could have written an
article about how people are constantly searching for that missing
puzzle piece in their lives. Many are looking for the missing puzzle
piece to solve their unique health issue. Or perhaps looking for that
one elusive mate in which to fall in love. There may be some that are
looking for that missing puzzle piece that would finally give them
the financial security they’ve been looking for. Or, perhaps they
are just simply looking for peace, bliss, or the feeling of being
‘one with the Universe’. And I have no doubt that many people
never really appreciate what they have because they are always
searching for some “thing” outside of themselves that they feel
they need in order to be happy. What a powerful message that would
be.
Then,
another idea occurred to me. Many of us may have forgotten that, in
order to judge someone or something, we need all the puzzle pieces.
Someday I’d like to have an artist create a huge jigsaw puzzle to
drive home this point. It might be a scene in a busy park with kids
playing and perhaps an old man sitting on a park bench with a little
girl standing next to him. This puzzle would be pieced together in
stages, photographed at each stage and the viewer would be asked to
guess what is going on between the old man and the little girl. As
each piece is added, a completely different scenario will unfold. No
one will be able to guess until the last puzzle piece is placed. In
other words, in life, we act as though we know the score, but we
really don’t, because we are missing a critical piece of the
puzzle.
And
finally, I’ve saved the best and most dangerous to last. It’s the
real reason I wrote this article and it was the first concept that
popped into my head when I saw the picture above. I say the most
dangerous, because so many people have this problem and it had such a
huge impact upon the world. It’s the very common idea that a person
will be holding a piece of the puzzle in their hands, and for some
reason, they think that they have the entire puzzle. These are the
people who think they know everything, but they actually know very
little. And, for some reason, they are fairly high up in the decision
making areas of the country. Now how did that happen?
We
are constantly bombarded with people who are telling us what is good
for us. One thing that works for one person may not work for another.
It’s great that you hold a puzzle piece in your hand, but it’s
not the whole
puzzle.
There are others out there that are also holding a piece of the grand
puzzle, and only by putting all of our puzzle pieces together will we
ever make sense of what’s going on around us.
