The next instalment of Rama's story;
NOTES;
what has been omitted is that Bharata and Shatrughna were absent in another kingdom whilst all of Keikeyi's intrigue was played out. He loves his mother but is right to be angry with her poor choice of action thus helping her understand her own shortcomings - we all need a "mirror" person!
Why does Rama not return on news of Dasharatha's demise? Had he refused to leave Ayodhya at first, his father may have continued living. However, we cannot live with 'ifs and buts' which lead to regret. If we have set a path, we must see it through to the best of our ability or our lives will be strewn with unfinished works and unrealised potential.

Amen to ifs and buts. They are small words that can block one's path more than a boulder.

We agree. One can't live in a world of "should have done" but let's get it done now.

It has taken me a long time to shush the ifs and buts, but it is so liberating to walk the path without questioning...
