Plato believed that before birth and after death, people exist in the truest world of ideas. There, everyone is a whole being, both male and female. When we enter the real world, we split in two. That is why people always feel that something is missing and try to find their other half. Neither half is more important than the other: men and women are equal. Your original other half is your perfect match, and somewhere in the world, they are looking for you, too.
