Have you ever thought about the philosophy behind the jigsaw?
You put the pieces together for days and nights, restlessly, driven by the itching feeling of the unfinished task. You celebrate when you find a piece and you could cry (or hit, depending on the temperament...) when it does not fit.
And when it's ready it's simply not interesting anymore; ready to go to the wastebin.
Like a western type of mandala: educates you about that all your efforts are in vain, and that nothing you make lasts.

for me it works the same as learning a language: every time I recognise a connection I get a flush of endorphin and it is gooood.
it's a bit like writing a dissertation...
it is almost taoist
