The king and his minister were called to the enemy territory for a talk of Peace.The enemy promised to withdraw his armed adversaries if the king helped him to marry his lady love.The king accepted this deal and asked him what the problem was.
The challenger told that his lady love was ready to marry him only if he answers her question and the question placed in front of him was "WHAT MAKES A WOMAN HAPPY...?".
The king and his minister got astonished.They were not able to give their challenger an apt reply , but still hoping to give him a suitable answer they started to travel back to their country.
On the way back they had to cross a forest and already it was a damn dark.
After walking a few miles,a specter appeared in front them.
The disturbing figure threatened to kill them if they dont take her along with them.
The minister who was very loyal to the king placed a deal in front of the specter.He accepted to marry the specter and take her along with him if the specter helps him to find a reply for the question "WHAT MAKES A WOMAN HAPPY...."?.
The specter started laughing and told to the minister that the answer was quite simple and she knows it.But again, even if the minister marries her he would have to choose one of the below options:
- The specter would remain a beautiful lady during the day time and a specter during the night time.
- The other option was she would remain a specter during the day time and beautiful lady during the night time.
The minister was stunned for a while.
He was ready to accept the specter as such in any form.Moreover safeguarding his kingdom was more important to him than anything else.
He told the specter "I give you the freedom to decide your options....I would love you in any form....Its up to you to decide....All I need is to save my boss....I need the answer for the question....What can make a woman feel happy?....".
The specter felt so happy "Iam impressed with your reply....Looking at your loyalty towards your boss I feel lucky to be yours....Above all I love you for having given me the freedom to decide....I have decided to remain beautiful always....I feel very happy now....I feel very happy....Guess you got the reply for your question too...."
The minister and the king were happy that they were able to get the answer for their challenger's question.They gave the answer and saved their kingdom.The minister married the specter,who was not a specter anymore.
The story ends here.
"Freedom to decide" - A woman's bliss.
She desires to decide...This exalts a woman...
According to choice theory for all practical purposes we choose everything we do including the misery we feel...
A woman would like to take more effective control and make better choices...It is a way how we actually function...How we combine what is written in our genes with what we learn as we live our lives...
The seed of almost all our unhappiness are planted early in our lives when we begin to encounter people who have discovered not only what is right for them -but also,unfortunately ,what is right for us.
Armed with the discovery and following a destructive tradition that has dominated our thinking for thousands of years,we are forced to do what they kow is right.
Besides survival which depends a lot on our physiology,we are genetically programmed to try to satisfy four psychological needs love & belonging , power , freedom and fun.
Here, the third need 'freedom' or to be more specific 'freedom to decide' -This makes a woman's life an elysian journey.
