This is a mythology revisionism vignette about Shiva, Hindu god of destruction, and was inspired by the Shiva comics made popular in India. Isn't it interesting how mythology is compatible with comics? Anyone a fan of Asterix from France? I felt the need to add this extra mythology short invention for comic book fans before signing off. Thanks for reading and enjoy,

Lord Shiva, master of destruction, was meditating on his mountaintop in the Himalayas and thinking about the contours of law and anarchy. He'd been both commended by the god Brahma, master of creation, for his patience, and criticized by Brahma for his bizarre fits of fury. Shiva was married to the two supreme goddesses Durga, goddess of governance, and Kali, goddess of chaos. However, Shiva was actually and secretly in love with the less authoritative goddess Saraswati, goddess of learning. Shiva and Saraswati had been carrying on an adulterous but deep love affair for about three years in the heavens.
BRAHMA: Shiva, you fool!
SHIVA: What is it?
BRAHMA: I've gotten wind of your adultery.
SHIVA: What?
BRAHMA: Yes, you fool; you're with Saraswati.
SHIVA: So what if it's true, Lord Brahma?
BRAHMA: Well, by doctrine, you're with Durga and Kali.
SHIVA: I know doctrine, but I also know liberty.
BRAHMA: Adultery is heresy, not liberty!
SHIVA: You're neglecting basic loneliness.
It turned out that the wise god Brahma was actually indeed ignoring the notion of pure loneliness and why it might contribute to Shiva's actual yearning to be with Saraswati more than Durga or Kali even if it betrayed doctrine or dogma. However, Shiva was not compelled to be completely open about his need to love the younger goddess Saraswati who was arguably more lovely than Durga and Kali, if not more commandeering. He didn't feel the compulsion to disclose his deep feeling of loneliness to the Lord Brahma, and Brahma was satisfied that Shiva would simply contemplate the political significance of upsetting the balance of heavenly powers.
Shiva suddenly felt the political need to secure his political actions and personal romantic decisions by announcing to the world that his need to be with his dear girlfriend Saraswati reflected a lifelong need to cure his deep loneliness by finding the comforts of a confidante who knew more about basic learning and cared less about heavenly powers unfolding as Durga and Kali had done. The world was shocked but realized that Shiva was simply conscious and overly eager about the problems of political chaos and worried that Durga and Kali were simply too involved with governance complexity to soothe his personal need for companionship and privacy. That's why he found the younger goddess Saraswati just more accessible. The world would find out if this decision would lead only to more confusion.
