The road of reason...!

"At the beginning of the creation, men and women were not as they were now; there was just one being – with one body, one heart and one soul, but two heads and two faces, looking in different directions. It was as if two beings had been glued back to back, with two heads, two sets of sex organs, four legs and four arms.

The Greek gods were, however, jealous and worried, because the being with four arms and legs could work harder, with its two heads it could think and feel at the same time, with its two faces, it was always vigilant and could not be taken by surprise thereby avoiding any kind of betrayal. Zeus, the supreme lord of Olympus said, "I have a plan to make these mortals lose some of their strength", "and he cut the creature into two with a lightning bolt, thus creating a man and a woman.

This greatly increased the population of the world, and at the same time, disoriented and weakened its inhabitants, the divided beings, because now they had to search for their lost half and embrace its heart, head, body and soul, and, in that embrace, regain their former strength, their ability to avoid betrayal and the stamina to walk longer and withstand hard work. The world has, ever since, been in the journey of finding that other half – which enables completion, avoids betrayal and more importantly, takes mortals back to their stature of gods."
