Words can kill.

Do you believe that I am connected to you in a way or another and ever wonder how many pieces you will affect when you criticize, insult or just commenting?

Basically, I picture life as one big jigsaw puzzle without any boundaries and I am a piece of this big puzzle of life. You are an unique piece in the puzzle too and I am connected to you. Maybe through a hundred pieces, a thousand pieces, a million pieces, or maybe just the next few. Whatever and wherever we are in this boundless life puzzle we need each other here to make my life, your life complete. To sum it up, we are dependant on one another, whether you like it or not, that's fact and that's life.

Let me tell you why. Let's run back to the point when you are in your mother's womb. The small little "you" is very dependant on your mother to provide you with everything that is essential for your survival. When you matured in the womb and ready to face the world, you need the doctor's help. And throughout your childhood and teenage years till you become an adult, you depend on your parents for guidance, financial needs etc. In your education journey, you depend on your mentors and in your social circle, you depend on your friends for support too etc. When you turn to an adult, you will still need someone's help somehow sometime. You will need your husband/wife for love, for care and concern, for sex and for reproduction etc. And even you are old, you still need company. In conclusion, whatever is the case, what I'm trying to say is, no matter how independent you are, you are still dependant on somebody out there. And surely, there are many out there who need you and depend on you too. Think about it. Am I right?

Back to the puzzle piece. Usually, a piece constitutes four connecting sides. And in this life puzzle, I picture these four connecting sides as your parents, your siblings, your lover and your friends. However, these sides change in shapes and sizes with the ever-changing feelings. At one point, it may fits so well with another, yet at another point, it will seem rather distorted.

A distortion with a piece may and can seriously affect the next and the next and so on. And as much as one shall always know themselves best, but without a strong state of mind, your flying words can hurt.
