The Greek Mythology says all mankind had four legs, four hands and two face. Zues feared the power of mankind and split them into two equal halves. Condemning them to a lifetime of searching for the other half...and hence the stories of Soul Mates began. No matter how true this story is, the search for the ideal soul mate keeps us all in hope to find our better half. Or should I say the other half.
After being marrying for almost an year, I know it is the other and also the better half. Being an arranged marriage it may not sound I really searched for my soul mate, yet somehow, somewhere there lies a connection, where her hands knows what to do next. Her face changes the expression to match my facial expression. Not only that, I feel the power which once feared Zues now exists in my home. The problem is the power scares me all the time too (lol). In a way we all know Zues was also scared of the power of women. And men, searched time and again to bring the real power at home.
The love of a soul mate bring together a number of changes...like an erratic half of mankind suddenly gets inspired to perform and work in a much organized manner. Now my clothes and my laptop have proper location at home.
Another of these change in the level of stress one of the half used to undergo. It has reduced immensely. The whole stress got diluted with the coming of another face. The lines on my forehead are smoothen when the curve of her smile shines upon me. My never ending words which were lost in oblivion suddenly found solace of her ears, punctuated with noble words of wisdom. The tears which had dried on the cheeks without any meaning have now the comfort of the palms to fall into. A place where it leaves a footprint of my pain, preserved forever.
The story of Zues which might have looks so absurd has suddenly become so meaningful. No matter how much our mind say its stupid, our heart wants to agree to it. Maybe there was a silver lining to what Zues was actually trying to do...He knew mankind takes everything for granted and wanted to show the power of a soul mate. We all lost something when Zues split us into two and after years of struggle we found our better half...our soul mate!
