Just a random rant about Bobo's post about love and somebody's reply about it.

Post was about greek myth describing humans as constantly on the search for their other half, and how Bobo thinks we may not necessarily meet our other half in our lifetime. Reply was "I suppose that since there are so many people out there, that there are potentially many good fits for one person." Bobo says "i kinda think it is like a jigsaw puzzle. there is only one right piece."

So, being the fellow-Bobo, i have to agree with Bobo! Aha.

Quantity doesn't mean Quality. Many people doesn't mean a higher chance of finding many others who'll fit into your life nicely! If that is the case, perhaps that is the reason why the rapid rate of decreasing marriages equates to the soaring rate of divorces. So people apparently realise they don't want to get married, coz they can't be sure that is their perfect fit, and they want to get a taste of every other nice fit. Then there's the people who realise maybe it's the wrong fit, and there could be a better fit out there.

Jigsaw puzzle analogy is perhaps the most apt way of describing love. There can be 10 pieces of puzzle, or there may be 10000 pieces of the puzzle; but the more pieces there are, the harder it is to complete your jigsaw. Coz you have to search among the many pieces. Perhaps in your pursuit, you try to force the wrong 2 pieces of jigsaw together, but they just don't fit perfectly, and the gap between them stubbornly refuses to close. It's then you realise it's wrong, and you give up, and continue your search for the right fit. Some may be lucky, fitting the right pieces together after one or two tries; some bingo on their first attempt; some may never get it right until they finally fit the 1st and 10000th piece together; some simply find it too tedious after awhile and give up halfway through.

Perhaps that is why they say Love is patient!

Hmmmm.

I don't have any secret recipe or shortcut to fit the pieces together in the shortest time possible. But if you've found your piece, glue it properly, and don't let it come off! You really wouldn't want to find it missing, call the puzzle shop for a replacement, and find it out of stock already! If you're still trying hard to put the pieces together, look before you fit and don't rush. You don't want to spoil your own piece of puzzle before you even find the fit! Maybe you will realise, the harder you srcutinize, the more you can't find your fit. That's coz your eyes have been on the lookout for too long, and censored too many pieces. Take a break, wait for others to toss out the wrong pieces, and the right one may just land before you! =)

Yes, enough crap. I'll go glue my own piece, then go on to do my mountain pile of work! =)
