Playing a Puzzle

I have heard the saying that life is as complicated as you imagine it to be. That statement seems false and misleading. Just because someone ignores the complexities of life, it doesn't cease to be so. Its been complex and we people will make it even more so. Thats the basic drive of humans, isn't it? We are not satisfied with the simple things; whether we try to unravel the mysteries of nature or whether we try to make things more organised and simpler, we will invariably end up making things more sophisticated. Its sort of repeats itself in a way a point moves in a circle and at the same time the diameter of the circle increases. The problems just ramify as soon as we start to solve them.

I have just started observing the complexities in this world. The other day I sort of had an epiphany and I opened my eyes to life's intricacies. I found order and chaos co-existing. I found a pattern among chaos and chaos in a pattern. Things seem to be simple but they are not as basic as they seem from outside. There is infinite detail in the smallest of things and whether we notice it or not depends on us.

Its seems that somebody in the beginning went about creating the most complex of puzzles. As he was making it more and more complicated, he himself had forgotten how to solve it. So he has created us and is now makng us to solve the puzzle for him. But as we are unravelling the mysteries, we are making the puzzle more and more complex in the process. It has become an infinite loop and we are all stuck up along with him, caught in the awkwardly entangled and ever-increasing web of the puzzle.

There is nothing like a finished job in life and nothing about which everything is known. In short life is like playing a puzzle knowing that you would only be able to finish a minute portion of it and that the puzzle would get even more complicated as you start playing it.

Sometimes, I feel i would rather brush aside the whole puzzle and pretend to be ignorant of it. But then whats the fun without playing the puzzle? Isnt it??
