That is compatibility. Reflecting a little deeper into this analogy, one discovers that 2 pieces of a puzzle are different from each other. If one has a certain slot empty, the other has the ingredients to fill such an empty slot. Hence there differences provide for each other and complete, fulfill each other.<br />But then why do we sometimes get the feeling that we are looking for someone who is like us? Does the analogy of the 2 pieces of a puzzle, fall incomplete then? My answer is, no it doesn't. Since these 2 pieces of the puzzle, in addition to being different, also have a huge similarity. The sameness in essence! They are same in essence since they are the pieces of the same puzzle. A piece of the puzzle spanning, for example, the sky in a scenic image, will fit with another piece that is a continuation of the sky.<br />If you take a piece from a picture of a mountain and try to harmonize it with a piece from the picture of a desert, even though they may fit in cosmetically, they will not 'go together'!<br />A similarity in the basics, in the essence, in the values, accompanied by difference that work towards mutual fulfilment, seem to be the ingredients for compatibility!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16323575-112586770903815020?l=piecesofapuzzle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13393225914737478141noreply@blogger.com1
