The Missing Piece. The Story About IMPERFECTION and SATISFACTION...  

Posted by Mr. Gee


He is missing a piece and he’s very sad. He set off to find the missing piece. He rolled along and sing “Oh, I am going to look for my missing piece, I am going to look for my missing piece, ah ha ha, on my way, to look for my missing piece”

Sometimes in his journey, he has to bear the heat of the sun. Following the icy cold rain and sometimes snow freezes him up but then the sun will come out to give him warmth

Because he is missing a piece, he can’t roll very fast. Thus, he could stop and chat with the worm or smell the flowers. Sometimes he overtakes the beetle and sometimes the beetle will also overtake him. This kind of moment is the happiest for him.

He continued his journey n sing “Oh, I am looking for my missing piece. Across the land and seas. I'm not afraid of the long road ahead, I am looking for my missing piece.” Through the swamps and scrubs and up to the mountains then down the hills. Till one day, he saw a missing piece and sang “I have found my missing piece, I have found my missing piece, Not afraid of the long road ahead, I have found…”

“Hold on”, the piece said “Don’t sing that”. “Not afraid of the long road ahead”. “Yet, I am not your missing piece and I am not anyone’s piece”. “I am my own piece and Even if I'm someone missing piece, I believe it would not be yours.” “Ooow.” He sadly said. “Sorry to disturb you.” And he went on his way again.

He then found another piece but this piece was too small. Then another one was too big. Then another one is slightly too sharp then another one was too squarish.

There was once when he found a piece with the perfect fit. But he did not grab hold of it tight and he dropped it. There was another time when he grabbed hold of it too tight and broke it. He went along his way again. Met with some dangers, Fell into a pit and somtime crashed into a stone wall.

One day, he met another piece which seemed to be a perfect fit.
“Hi!” He said.
“Hi!” the piece said.
“Are you anyone’s missing piece?”
“No, I am not.”
“Then are you your own piece?”
“I can be someone’s piece, as well as, be my own piece”
“You probably would not like to be my missing piece.”
“Not really.”
“Maybe we are not suitable.”
“Don’t say that…”

They try to fit each other.
“How is it?”
“Feels good.”

Very suitable! A perfect fit! Finally found it! Finally found it!

He rolled along, because he does not missed a piece anymore, he rolled faster and faster, faster then never before. So fast that he could not stop to chat with the little worm. He can’t stop to smell the flowers too. So fast that the butterfly is not able to rest on him. He could sing his happy song coz he finally found “I found my missing piece.” He started to sing “Ummm…Bleh…Hmmm, Ummm…Bleh…Hmmm, Hmmp…Ummp…”

Oh God, He doesn't missed any piece now, but he felt uneasy. “I know why.” He thought. “There’s must be a reason here.” He stopped and put down his missing piece, And left...

He moved along, and sang softly “Oh, I am looking for my missing piece, I am looking for my missing piece, Ah ha ha, on my way to look for my missing piece.”

Regarding Maturity…

In this society that emphasizes on the packaging, we they would sometimes inevitably envy other people’s good looks, and lament about our own imperfection. But in my years of experience, I have discovered that there’s no one life that is perfect, everyone has a lack of something.

Some couples may be very loving, wealth, but they could have problems. Some people have the looks and talent, but they could have a rough time in relationships. Some people have lots of money, but they don’t have filial children. Some people look to have a good life, but their brain could be very empty all their life. Everyone’s life has been designed with imperfections, you may not want it but it will follow you. I used to hate my imperfection, but now I have learnt to accept it with open arms because I understand that the flaw in life is like a spike on our backs. Reminding us to be humble and to emphatise with others.

If there's are no hardships, we will be complacent. If there is no depression, we cannot emphatise and console those who are less fortunate. I also believe that life cannot be too perfect, having a crack and let happiness flow to others is a beautiful thing.

It's no need for you to have everything coz If you does, what’s left for the others? Also recognise that life has flaws, that I will not compare myself with others instead cherish what you already have.

So, don’t go around envying others, count the blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon you. I'm sure you will find that there is more than the things that you don’t have and what you do not have. Although it's not lovable but it very much part of your life, accept and appreciate it and your life will be much happier.

If you are a clam, do you want to bear all the pains to produce a pearl or you do not want the pearl and choose to live comfortably?!

If you are a mouse, and you suddenly find yourself captured in a rat trap and in front of you is a piece of delicious cake, would you eat the cake or not?!

Early piggy banks are made of clay, once it is filled, it has to be broken. If there is such a piggy bank, no money has been put into it, until today and it has become a very priceless antique. Which piggy bank do you wish to be?!

Everytime you think of it, note down your answers...
Until a day when your answers does not change...
Then you are mature!

Find someone who understands you and hope that you are the person who understands him/her... The intelligent like to guess people’s heart. Although everytime they get it right, they will lose their own. The innocent and naive love to give their hearts. Although they laughed everytime but they would have won over other people’s hearts...

Like the fish said "I can’t see my tears because I am in the water... "
and the water replied "But I can feel your tears because you are in my heart..."
