  Soulmates

  In ‘The Symposium’ by Plato, Aristophanes suggests man was originally round, and had four hands and four feet. But one head, with two faces looking in opposite directions.

  They were powerful, strong. They launched an attack upon the gods in the heavens.

  Zeus, feeling the threat of man, was forced to cut them in half.

  Following the division, the two halves of man could not bear to be apart and longed to grow into one again.

  Aristophanes claimed that the need to reunite with our soul mates is in-built, innate.

  And so, man is always searching for his other half.
