So its not every day that I come across something so thought provoking that I actually stop everything that I am doing and concentrate solely on a given subject although I so have to say that for once in a very long time many things are starting to fit together.  The last part of the sentence may sound a bit odd but imagine yourself at a table with a puzzle in front of you, a puzzle which has more pieces than you can count and a puzzle that of which you have never seen before.  But this is no ordinary puzzle for it has no edges, and there is no ending.  



Are you scratching your head wondering what the hell I am talking about?  I am too.



As you begin to connect one piece to another you will undoubtedly begin to draw conclusions as your mind is racing for an answer to the countless questions that arise throughout this process of your construction of the puzzle.  With each answer comes an array of questions, questions that you unconsciously desire an answer to.  We as individuals are unaware, unaware of exactly what is something that only you can answer for yourself, although it is not the answer you should be looking for.  What you should be examining is the question.  



You must think that all the years of drugs have finally caught up to me.



Now imagine that your puzzle is beginning to take shape so you sit back and ponder just exactly how you got from point A, to where it is you are now and through this thorough examination you are able to analyze and critique every moment with a great deal of precision.  You are able to break down each movement, to understand how C led to D, which led to E, which then led you to F,G,H and I, after all hindsight is 20/20.  While you meticulously go through each and every step you somehow overlook the most important part.



Ummmmmmmm…………are you high now?



To fully understand what you have overlooked you must first step outside of the box, and then step out of the picture altogether.  Now think back to the beginning and try to determine what your driving force was, what was it that that got you to where you are today?  Your puzzle is not yet complete and there are still a few pieces missing in most areas, although there do not appear to be enough pieces for every hole.  You are now at the fork in the road wondering which way to go with more questions than you could possibly have answers for.  



So is there a point to all of this rambling?



As you run out of pieces you can only now begin to understand what the puzzle is all about, although unknowingly you have run out of time.  As you go to reach for another piece you suddenly realize that your arms no longer move, in fact the rest of your body no longer functions.  Your heart beats slowly ticking away like a tomb bomb set to explode while the light fades away and you begin to wonder, is this it?  Your last moments are to be defined by the last thought that will be processed by your brain before it ceases to function.   It is in that moment in time, as short as it may be, it all makes sense and you smile.
Don't ask...... something came over me.


Your thoughts, comments, please do share cause I am wondering what the hell I just wrote.

yep. not a bad analogy at all. tho i think we could add a small feedback features there, despite it being already covered by mentioning the forking process of sorts.

so, that as we slowly complete the puzzle, it tends to become more "interactive", as both the pieces that are already in place and also the loose ones, start to intrinsically change their inherent appearance. i mean despite them being changed, you perceive them as if they were in this form from the beginning. and gradually this process of metamorphosis accelerates, yet you do not even notice it.

also lately i came to a realization, that all (okay, not all of course, but lots) of those fine and creative external stimulus coming in the forms various figurative devices in arts, et cetera, that are supposedly are meant for us to _learn_ (as in to progress, to move forward) are merely serving as a bootstrap, a loader subroutine for the puzzle game.

continuing the above analogy, it is like a 2 year old child (or whatever was the pre-puzzle age). when that baby sits comfortably and happily in the middle of the room on a warm carpet, well fed, mommy close nearby, puzzle pieces in front of him/her and just pokes the pieces around wondering at their blistering glossy finish, or color or shape or whatever property. then makes a slight mess and goes to sleep. repeat the same again next day :)

and somehow i get a feeling that lots of individuals are merely stuck in this 2yr old phase, and almost consciously not willing to move out of it. they say its their idea of fun. hmm.. okay :)

and as to why they are not willing to move on, there goes another major component of the game - fear (as opposed to love). but thats a whole other story to explore.
