Puzzles. A puzzling problem I'd rather not decipher...

There are always going to be jobs in everyone's life whether it's their chores at home or career or occupation. Some people may not mind what they do as far as an occupation, but thinking of doing something like that in their spare time because it's fun???... This is exactly what puzzles are. Fitting little shapes together is so elementary yet old people do it and young toddlers don't have the capacity to sit still long enough let alone be able to spend the time to put anything more than those 4 piece puzzles together. I'll admit that sometimes the pictures are cool that you make once the puzzle is complete. But is it really worth the hours put into it? Why do they put the cool pictures on the quadrillion piece puzzles anyway? I'm not sure if that's enough motivation for me. One could probably just go out and, even including the time of the job interview, get a job and work enough hours to buy a picture that is even better than the one on the box. So why do people still like to put together puzzles?
Well, I guess you'd never see someone who enjoys associating with people all the time or has a time-comsuming job sit down and put a puzzle together, unless maybe it helps their brain relax from the pressures or something. Puzzles might be a form of diversion of the mind to simply pass the time, because maybe that mind may think that even work is better than being bored or truly relaxing. When someone doesn't have the time to sit down and do a puzzle they are probably involved in... a life! (no offense to those people who somehow really like to put puzzles together...) Typical lives are full of either hard or moderate work and play, but why would someone want to add to their work or do something that shouldn't be considered play? In my experience, my family and I try doing puzzles just long enough to figure out that what we usually do isn't actually so boring after all, so we return to those typical activities. I guess it takes a special kind of person to like to take the time and whatever effort required to engage in such a... monotonous activity.
Putting puzzles together might actually not be so bad, or even preferable, if one was at least paid to do it. However there probably isn't a job out there that pays enough to get someone like me to do that anyway. Other than that I think I'll wait till I get older to indulge myself in a rousing round of trying to put thousands of pieces, that you could swear all fit, together.
