Shiva/Saraswati

Shiva/Saraswati

A Story by Abishai100
"

Shiva, god of destruction, and Saraswati, goddess of learning, work together and become close while evaluating the civilization impact of toy-diaries.

"
I'll sign off this Sunday with this toy-anthropology vignette about Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and Saraswati (Hindu goddess of learning) transforming into the comic book characters Batman (DC Comics) and Catwoman (DC Comics) to celebrate the diorama of toys and the Halloween season. Happy Halloween (signing off finally),

Shiva, god of destruction, wanted to converse with the younger goddess Saraswati, goddess of learning. Shiva was at odds intellectually and sometimes even politically with his two dominant goddess wives Durga, goddess of governance, and Kali, goddess of anarchy. However, Shiva found great mental compatibility with the younger goddess Saraswati, who oddly sensed Shiva was somewhat lonely because of the intellectual alienation he felt from his two wives Durga and Kali. Shiva wanted to meet with Saraswati and talk to her about the spiritual value of praise in regards to sacred objects in civilization in times of great anarchy. Shiva wanted to know what the goddess Saraswati thought about imagination diaries.



SHIVA: I'd love to chat with you about the symbolism of toys!
SARASWATI: Toys?
SHIVA: Yes, goddess Saraswati; toys represent emotional liberty.
SARASWATI: I suppose toys reflect the mind's view of recreated or synthesized vitality!
SHIVA: It seems to me that toys can symbolize the perception of immortality.
SARASWATI: Why're you so interested in chatting so much with me about toys, Shiva?
SHIVA: I feel estranged intellectually from my two wives Durga and Kali.
SARASWATI: You're at odds with them?
SHIVA: I'm certainly thinking about their insistence that I remain a hermit!
SARASWATI: Why?
SHIVA: Because I'm the lord of destruction, they feel I shouldn't think about social activity.
SARASWATI: You disagree?
SHIVA: Well, I'm not denying that my position requires me to be fixed on prison consciousness.
SARASWATI: Yes, destruction, punishment, and prison are all linked!
SHIVA: Yes, and Durga and Kali feel that the lord of destruction shouldn't worry about toys!
SARASWATI: That's why you come to me with this inquiry about toy symbolism?
SHIVA: Well, why can't the lord of destruction think about why/how toys represent self-control?
SARASWATI: I suppose toys symbolize the motion of the imagination and hence control intelligence!
SHIVA: That's why I propose we evaluate together why human children love toy stores.
SARASWATI: Toy stores such as Toys 'R Us are capitalism beacons in America.
SHIVA: Right, but kids walk into these colorful toy stores and only think about liberty!
SARASWATI: Yes, they don't think much about commerce or the traffic of goods.
SHIVA: No, they could care less about labor and delivery; they care about aesthetics!
SARASWATI: Well, why did you want to converse with me specifically about toys?
SHIVA: I think goddess Saraswati that you have a special view on the value of learning!
SARASWATI: I am the goddess of learning, it's true.
SHIVA: That's why I'm fascinated by your input on the quality of toy praise.
SARASWATI: I suppose I shouldn't be frightened to talk to the lord of destruction about toys.
SHIVA: Yes, I won't disclose this conversation to the goddesses Durga and Kali.
SARASWATI: Good.
SHIVA: When you take your kids to Toys 'R Us for Christmastime, you dream of their happiness.
SARASWATI: True.
SHIVA: When you think about World Wars and plagues, you think about kids' sadness!
SARASWATI: True.
SHIVA: Maybe toys, both war-toys and peace-dolls, remind kids of the endurance of history.
SARASWATI: So?
SHIVA: This would imply there's a creative learning-curve in regards to imagination endurance!
SARASWATI: Yes, as kids learn about civilization history, they appreciate the liberty of mind-space.
SHIVA: And toys afford all kids mind-space direction!
SARASWATI: Perhaps you and I might become 'toy' doctors.
SHIVA: Perhaps, goddess.



Shiva and Saraswati realized they had much in common in regards to the intellectual intrigue surrounding human children's fascination with toys in civilization. They decided to go down to Earth and transform into Batman and Catwoman costumed Americans during the Halloween season, which kids love, and visit Toys 'R Us and Halloween costume stores and spread cheer and joy among kids in those stores who're thinking about the timeless imagination value of unusual objects and why they symbolize mind-space liberties. Shiva/Saraswati (Batman/Catwoman) realized they'd become something like a 'dollhouse' duo.



Shiva and Saraswati concluded that the rationale for great evaluations of the happiness and sadness of civilization lay in the marketing of toys for youngsters. Toys symbolized the contouring and aesthetics of recreating life itself, and Shiva and Saraswati reasoned that celebrating toys yielded great dogma stimulation. They realized that during this research about the quality of mental activity, they'd become quite close. For the first time, Shiva ('Batman') thought he wasn't simply the hermitic lord of destruction.

This is an intriguing conversation. However, I would argue that toys children create for themselves can provide far more emotional and intellectual liberty than toys their parents buy for them. Parents buy toys for their children to show off their wealth to other parents. When a neighbor kid comes over to play, the parents want the neighbor kid to go home telling their parents how cool or pretty the toys their friend has are. Of course, having pretty things is nice in its own way. On the other hand, unless those pretty things are also functional, they tend to wind up in boxes where they never see the light of day.
