In the symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about Soulmates. Evidently, god feared we humans were turning out stronger then them, in order to protect their interest they cut us in halves. (We had two heads, two set of feet and hand! Hard to even imagine) so we were assured a life of despair, search and disappointment because the other half in rarest of moments will ever come across us.
Fast forward to 2012,
Do you guys believe in soulmate?
Hell no!
Ok some of you may do, congrats because that takes a lot of faith, even mythology says otherwise. The bible story, the only reason Samson (the great warrior) died was because of his unrequited love for Delilah, who betrayed him without a tint of guilt!
And yes the great Zeus, the great Greek god cheated on his wife as often as he possibly could. Switching to Indian mythology, Ram banished his wife, on false accusation by a mere fisherman. You see where I am going with this?
Love has rarely turned out magical or blissful, except in Disney movies. People fall out of love as often as they fall in it.
May be as humans we are so quick to adapt, that the scars that should have reminded us of our lost soul-mates are healed, we have evolved so much we don’t need someone to complete us.
Shitty post when it’s all jovial valentine round the corner,
Very few of us believe in sanctity of love, waiting for the companion who could except us for what we are, without any complications, without altering the very sense of purpose in us and most of all influencing us by not influencing us. (I am not going in further detail!)
love rarely conquers anything, but when it does, the two fly high, while we mortals always engulfed by self-doubt watch the pair living their miraculous happy ever after.
Kudos to those who could believe in happy ever after!
