Circle

Plato believed that humans once had two faces and four arms and legs, and that each person was made up of two people as we are now. Zeus feared their power but did not want to wipe them out, so he split them in two, creating the humans we see today. From then on, people began searching for their other halves. This, Plato believed, was the origin of human love. Only by finding their other half can people become whole, and that other half may be of the same sex or the opposite sex. Each person is a semicircle, destined to become complete only by finding the right other half. But love is not perfect simply because two people love each other.
