Life In Jigsaw
What, if we were told, to immerse our senses and self,and create a way in order to live our daily lives and we are now cocooned ,and surrounded by a Jigsaw?

“I'd grown used to all the voices inside of my head and knew which ones to pay attention to and which ones to ignore. The same went for all the voices outside of my head”

"Eleven Hints for Life"
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.
6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.
7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.
8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.
11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Description
Repeat key words and phrases over time.
Keep the words carefully separated and control the predictability when they arrive. Initially, the words will be unexpected. You can then build up both expected and unexpected occurrence of words.
You can use the same words or different words - the key is that the meaning is the same and that it gradually moves the subject in the right direction.
You can also use different styles, including straight facts or emotional appeals.
Example
This report on climate change looks worrying...What is our environmental policy?...Do we comply with environmental regulations?...Look at this article -- a company down the road has got into real trouble...I spoke with Jan and our emissions are not great...The shareholder meeting is next week, what if they ask about environmental issues?...
We need to have an internet presence, you know...Our competitors all have an internet presence...I spoke to a customers recently who was surprised to find that we do not have an internet presence...

Dripping water will erode an entire mountain, possibly without the mountain noticing. Likewise, a repeated word or phrase, cunningly hidden, may not be consciously noticed, but may be get through to the subconscious.
The dripping tap is slower than the hammer, and may be around the same speed as nagging, or maybe even slower.
The purpose with the dripping tap is to get through to a person via relentless, but careful, repetition. It is thus more subtle than nagging. With varying words, the tap may not be consciously noticed.
