Life Is A Puzzle but always with a ……..

Among the various definitions about life – a challenge, accept it, – a
song, sing it, a book, read it, a mystery, solve it and so on – it is also
considered to be as a puzzle. It is said that if you are not a part of the
problem, you are part of the solution also. Every puzzle, before its
creation, has a solution. There is no problem in the world that doesn’t
have a solution. Both are opposite and close to each other. In other
words, both are not complete without each other.

Anyhow, every puzzle is intended to be solved. Some are there just to
justify your patience and limits while the others are in fact no puzzle at
all.

I recollect that every day while I drive to my office, I used to see two
beggars. One from the Leprosy House and others looked to be by virtue
of his circumstances.

From the very beginning, I was against giving cash to any beggar except
the handicaps, who cannot afford to do the work to run the day-to-day
affairs. The first category of Leprosy House begging was justified and
the other one with good physique was pinching, not only to me but to
every passerby.

I see the second one at the main crossing. I had a feeling to help them
but at the same time, I felt it may not be a scandal but in my small
hometown it was not possible. But I was puzzled by this type of his life
and in a fix, as to what should I do.

Every coin we drop into a beggars’ bowl for which he never had to work
hard, I think we are insulting people who thrive on the dignity of labor.
There are numbers of persons who do not have to work hard and living a
comfortable life.

There are certain people, who are lazy, don’t want to work, if they do,
they do lesser work. Such type of people is frustrated and exploited by
the state of affairs and wants to have easy money and enter the begging
profession. They manipulate the situations to create a sense of sympathy
and thus making us emotionally weak.

It has become an industry now as we have read headlines in the news of
the detection of huge money from the beggars’ houses after their deaths.
Recently, one B.Tech student, without disclosing his identity of name
and place, with covered face, appeared before the camera to admit that
he is begging and earning much more than what he was earning in the
job.

After reading and watching these incidents, I thought for a moment that
begging life is a big puzzle but it has a solution. If I am in a position to
help the needy, I should not put a coin in the baggers’ bowl. I decided to
keep bread, biscuit or eatable or things in kind, to give and never cash
for which I have not to sweat.

Frankly speaking, by going this way, you have the satisfaction that your
rupee was not used for liquor or cigarette or drugs. You also have the
pleasures that you have evolved a solution to puzzle in life by reaching
out to the hungry.\What I feel is that in one equation you can solve all the puzzles of life. It
is the equation of giving. So, life is definitely a puzzle but with a
solution.

Over to you to solve someone’s problem!
