“I just had an epiphany about human interactions and a jigsaw puzzle metaphor.”
One day, a long time ago, I wrote down some poetic sentence: “Society is a jigsaw puzzle, and somewhere I belong.” And I think I was pondering that idea, and maybe expanding it in my mind. Before, I was just thinking of myself as one jigsaw puzzle piece, and other people or perhaps values were the other pieces. But during this lecture, I had an idea about people having several tiny jigsaw pieces themselves, that represented their lifestyles and hobbies, etc. And then other people connected themselves to those pieces, maybe on a three-dimensional level. Then the people connected with the other people connect with other people, and then you have a giant intertwined web of jigsaw puzzle pieces. Which I realize makes the jigsaw puzzle metaphor a little more complicated and not as accurate, but whatever.
