The Joker Within



We all are fond of playing cards. They help us rejoice some great moments with friends, family and loved ones. The cards also are reasons to bring fortunes and despair to us if you know what I mean J

We all are aware of the various characters within a card deck. The most loved ones being the Aces, the Kings, the Queens and the Jacks. The thirteen characters that hold a card house together.  The cards perform the same roles in the various card houses, yet are distinct and different from each other. This brings me to the most overlooked and the most underutilized card among all the cards “The Joker”.

Have you ever pondered at the “Joker” from a different perspective? Why is that card so special? If people are given the chance to live out a character from within the card deck they would easily choose a role from the Aces to the deuces. People will often overlook and ignore the Joker card as that somehow doesn’t fit in. But according to me the joker card does fit in .

The Joker card is the most versatile and the most adaptable card that we have ever come across. The Joker can play any role from the Aces to the Deuces, it’s the card which makes us feel one and complete. It is unique J

Well the Joker card completes us. It completes us and keeps us in the game. The game of human nature makes us wear all masks from the Aces to the Deuces. We as people need to realize that we need to be more like the Joker card. Adaptable, Versatile you name it. We need to develop the ability to accept, adapt and build a character which is useful and play any part in any given situations. This in a way will help us in the long run, make us wiser, and make us adapt, acquire and help us make decisions without being naive.

Let us learn and unlearn one character from the other and bring in the flavor of the cards characteristics within ourselves. Let us bring out the Joker within.

Learning from being a Joker:
1)  Let us not stick to one role and one direction in life. Play new roles and enjoy them no matter how small or big they may be.
2) Let life make a character out of you. Be the Joker if needed.
3) Always be ready to accept, adapt and change.
