This is a series which will have several parts.
Each part will be dedicated to one character perspective on happiness.
Hope you will enjoy reading it as much I enjoyed thinking it and writing it.
Sita - for her, happiness is:
- being tended to by a loving and caring partner when hurt
- being carried in his arms when she is struggling to walk (ooh chemistry galore)
- being supported by him in every decision she makes
- being accompanied by him in every task she undertakes
- having his confidence that she will succeed when she volunteers to look for food
- admiring Mother Nature in all her glory and for all she has to offer , be it the nights beauty and the shining jugnus
- finding sweet potatoes in the ground when there is no hope at all for food
- preparing food for all and feeding them - she is the real annapoorna, just like Mother Nature, just like Mother Earth
- caring for a young, afraid little boy
- being cared for by a doting brother-in-law who respects her like a mother, who stays awake all night to keep vigil for them
- sleeping in her beloved's arms all night
- waking up to the rays of the sun, which are then shielded by the beloved himself
- finding that he covered her in the night with his angvastra
- taking pride in her faith for having found him, he, who completes her in every way..
Sita is hurt, she has but one pair of clothes, until Laxman made her one - she had no Padukas- she was bare feet, she has no shelter except her beloved's arms, she has no hope of finding food everytime,
But who could be happier than her in the midst of a mysterious jungle and unpredictable future?
I can't think of anyone.
Perspective and perception is a great teacher...
