I spent my life trying to solve the puzzle called Life
I went to sages, read books, argued with philosophers
Life was still a mystery
The more efforts I made - the more the answer alluded me
This obsession occupied my life
I lost all friends, my family got estranged
I was ready to end my life
As I sat down to be with myself before ridding myself of this burden
I breathed the last few breaths and an epiphany struck me…
Life was not a puzzle - it was simple, repetitive, infinite
The real puzzle was ME
