All about Life - By Myself

I saw a kid playing with jigsaw puzzle.He was trying to form an elephant structure using the pieces from the puzzle box. This moment made me compare our life with a Jigsaw Puzzle.

The Kid is provided to solve the puzzle which is an elephant structure.This kid cannot change this, he cannot frame a structure of lion using the provided elephant puzzle box.

Everyone in this world is provided with a life to live.In this birth i am provided with a life of 'Prabhu' and i cannot change it even if i wish.

As the kid solves the puzzles he focuses on particular areas, first he concentrates on legs, then trunk and then head and body of the elephant. He focuses and gives importance to each and every part of the elephant randomly. He is happy acheiving the parts of the elephant step by step. He is very happy to see the head of the elephant. He becomes more interested when he completes the trunk of the elephant.

Similary our life is composed of various parts and phases. Education,Career,Love,Family.. and all these are various phases in our life. It depends on every person to be happy achieving the various phases of our life one by one. I would be happy if i have a good education, another person may be happy with the career... and so on.

And as the kid was about to complete his puzzle few parts of elephant body was missing from the box. He was much worried. He took few similar pieces from another puzzle box of Lion. He was able to fix these pieces into his puzzle, but it was not looking good and not completed. He was able to finish the game, but he could not complete. Finishing and Completing are different.

We do the same in our life. If we are not able to get all the parts and phases of our life, we adjust, convince ourselves and go ahead with our life, by this we can say our life is filled with all the parts and phases , but we cannot say that our life is complete.

I feel every part and phase is important for our life. And it is important that we live our life and not just survive.So even if one part of our life is missing, it is sure that we will get a spare for that part and we can fill the missing part of our life, but it is for sure that our life will not be complete.

Life is to live, don't just survive.
