Love, love, love.
That's what makes the world go around isn't it?
Actually it's the conservation of angular momentum, but that doesn't really matter does it?
Let's just say that it's love.
Plato suggested in his Symposium that men and women were meant to be one, because before they entered this world they were one creature. Essentially, he believed that husband and wife were originally a 4 legged, 4 armed, hermaphrodite. Sexy huh? While you may be sitting there saying, "that is absolutely ridiculous." This is where the idea of soul mates comes from. Plato knew how to get the ladies.
If you think about it and apply it to your life, it is hysterically disturbing. Next time you are checking out that special someone at the coffee shop just imagine yourself merged with them into some crazy dual-human monster. You'll think twice before flirting I can guarantee it.
Is it really so crazy though?
Well, yes, but uh...how do I transition after that? Anyway.. whether we put it on God, Plato, natural selection, or christianmingle.com doesn't really matter; because we believe them all for the same reason. We were meant for someone else. We all somewhere in our core want love. Even if it is off of eharmony, or at one of those AWFUL church singles group conferences.
Seriously, I will sooner die than ever go back to one of those again. Our church had to create a cowboy and indian style caravan around our women to protect them from the crazies. It was like that one awful dance in junior high where no one wanted to dance, but the parents working the refreshments stands made you.
Either way just love everyone a little bit, and it'll make the world a better place.
After all, you may have been meant to merge into a superhuman monster with one of them.
Sigh...love is so beautiful.
