This write up is inspired by the script here in Facebook about the figure of speech –“Oxymoron” in which “Happily married” is the last 11th phrase of its example. In the light of descriptions in the paragraphs 2,3,4 below, this phrase is not oxymoron but assertive, whereas it is true in case of the last paragraph. The funniest thing in one’s life perhaps is a marriage. It is nothing but gambling. At a stake is the whole life itself. One who gets the good wife will have merely an enjoyable life, whereas one who doesn’t, an infinite number of opportunities thrown open! A few mandatory choices are- a great philosopher, or a saint. Socrates who is still revered and referred to on many occasions for his wisdom and philosophical approach to the life, is the supreme contribution to the entire mankind by his wife Xanthippe, though her approach is questionable. The great saint Purandaradasa is a gift to the society by his wife Saraswati. It is Buddhimati (Ratnavali) who transformed an ordinary innate lover into the great saint Tulsidas. Both instances are exemplary. We can find another face of a wife in the great epic Mahabharat. Draupadi wife of Pancha Pandavas, was instrumental in the destruction of the crooked Kouravas. Instigated by his wife Lady Macbeth, Macbeth Murders the kind king of Scotland Duncan, and finally meets the tragic end at the hands of Macduff by decapitation of his head. She wrote an epitaph while he was alive!
