According to him, at the beginning of creation, men and women aren't as they are now; there was just one being, who was kinda short, with a body and a neck, but his head was two faces, looking in different directions. It was if two creatures had been glued back to back, with two sets of sex organs, four legs and four arms.
However, the Greek gods were jealous. Because this creature of four arms and four hands could work harder and stand or walk for long periods of time without tiring.
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 in two with a lightning bolt, creating man and woman.
Because of that, man and woman have became weak and disorientated without one another. And now they have to search for their lost half and embrace it, and embrace it more to gain back their former strength. For that, two must become one. That embrace in which the two bodies becoming one again is what we call today, Love.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts with me :)

Ehehehhee, agak aneh ah fotonya!
Well, anything is ok. Actually I'd like to know your opinion about the story, and also your own "belief" about what love is, or anything! Haha
omg cassey i cant believe that you're reading my blog. thank you! even you dont understand what i'm saying. haha! :P its a big suprise for me :)
fyi, i'm your big fan yoo! i love your stories and ofcoz your great pictures! =)
Hi there! I wanted to thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. And yes, I really am allerigic to children. Can't stand them. You should read my rant called f*ck you abbi w/ an -i. i think yo would think its funny unless you have a soft spot for kids, then don't read it. Your blog looks cute, i'm going to look around. i hope you come back.
I adore your blog. Hey guess what I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia.
This is amazing, I always believe that men and women complete each other's empty spaces.
Actually, I don't really care about its meaning and this philosophy within. But after read your post, well, it's interesting :) though I don't really know bout philosophy stuff hehe. For me, love is all about take and give. Just simple like that ;)
that's very lovely cass, it's weird, but i like it!
Aww...potonyah.
Hihihihi.
A bit confuse here,Cass.
You're asking what do people think about the "story" or about love ?
Hahahaa i know pat, it's beautifully weird in my opinion. i choose to believe it, makes life much more interesting :D
aku suka bgt kak ceritanya!
shame on you cassey, there's no such thing as ugly vampires, you two are adorable : )
as i read that i thought "gee i think i've heard this from somewhere" and it turns out it's one of the song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch!
Ahahahaha, well what i meant is, we somehow look like vampires in that photo, but we both look horrible! Well sorry! Hahahaha.
Whoa, never heard that song! What's the title? i read about this in a book of Greek philosophers for my exam hehehe
very interesting. i've never heard that one before
yeah, it's nice to know and fun to believe :p
Sounds illogical yet that kind of explains why men and women generally have different point of view about various things. Interesting and pwetty sweet~
And I think I've read something about this in a comic!
^nindya
mhmm! exactly, i agree with that also. it's a fact we're weak without one another (no matter men or women), or at least, we're weak being alone. we're humans, we need each other :p
hahaha, thanks! but that's too much, edward and bella is definitely far from that photo! i still think we look horrible haha
i know it's against the biological theory. but, I'm sure that Plato right about " mens are weak without women, and womens are weak too without mens" ;)
by the way.. you guys don't look like vampires!! you two just like.. Edward and bella.. okay, vampires.. but, the gorgeous one ;)
^shayy-ghaaa
hi, you're welcome. well don't be surprised, i like to blog walk, gets me inspired. and sometime people's blogs are super interesting :) i couldn't understand the language, it was confusing, so i read the english parts only, sorry :P
thank you, i'm glad you love 'em!
absolutely, it's like a secret recipe for gaining strength!
ahh plato.. indeed a beautiful theory, cassey, really
im with you cass. i decide to believe it, it's very lovely theory. two must become one...
^nunu fithria
haha, of course it's illogical. it's a silly theory Plato made about us, philosophers are weird. But even though it doesn't make sense, at least it does give explanations. it is very sweet in my opinion, believing it makes life more challenging and fun. i guess i'm not the first one to write about of course :p
it's so beautiful i had the biggest smile once i finished reading about it! i was like "i can't wait to tell this story to everyone!" hahaha
aww cass you're so cute! and you have a charming boyfriend too! thank you for reading my blog! i'm surprised too as well, my english is very horibble heehee. i always reading your blog, keep writing cass :)

^Antonia
ah, you're the gorgeous one. i've stumbled around all over a lot of fashion blogs, and to be honest, i don't like 'em, but yours is very enjoyable. thanks for visiting my blog ttysoon :D
oh well, i'm tired of insisting we look ugly. thanks! xx
I just can't agree more with Plato,
this is a super sweet thought about love ;)
^Awesome Sara
ahahaha, i really thought it was funny. but i do actually have a soft spot for kids, i love 'em! but i'd be keeping on reading your posts, they're pretty funny. thanks for stopping by as well :)
Its a beautiful theory.It makes me feel like im connected to something somewhere.
P.s. you take AMAZING photos!
first time for me to hear about that love philosophy.. hihi
weird, but lovely! interesting. :)
^pradita
Philosophies about love is one of my deepest obsession. i don't know why, i just can't get enough of it! i'm so chessy, but it's true. i'm so happy i could share this story with you
^Detta
it does! it made me feel that way as well, that's why i posted it, wondering whether other people feels that connection too or not :p
^Enep
He is a crazy philosopher, some of his theories are just plain stupid. but, some are interestingly imagination-friendly. i'm glad you agree with this one, it is super sweet ;)
umm, have you ever heard "the embrace in which the two bodies refuse to become one again is what we call sex"? that's also plato's saying
I think it's interesting, I always like Greeks myths~ tho, it's weird, but interesting :D
^hfm
Empty spaces. aww i like that. Yeah, we're all supposed to complete each other :)
^ezra
Yes! i've read that too. i was actually going to write that as well on this post, but i remembered almost most of my readers are underage :p
^Felkiza
Aww, that's too bad you don't care, because everyone is a philosopher! Even you, you write, and you have your own beliefs (love is all about take and give), voila! you're a philosopher! :D
^Z.A.T
Greek myths are the best! Except the creepy ones, but greek philosophers are such awesome storytellers! love 'em!
sooooo sweet.... :]]
great photo.
sometimes it just hard to see world on plato's eyes, cas..
but yet he's so right about men and women philoshopy
anyway cass, what a great blog..
well, he is such an imaginative person, but for example, this story is weird, but understandable, and fun to believe :D thanks!
i'm a HUGE fan of greek mythology, but i never knew this. thks!
wow. nice quoting of plato. it's so true! i'm starting to pay interest in greek mythology now
>filthy lust
thank you!
>Pramesti Wldya Kirana
Wow, that's great! i'm a fan as well :D Glad i could share this one with you.
>Bernadine
Awesome, you really should, be prepared to be surprised :)
hi cassey,
since i took philosophy class, ive learned that philosophy and what my holy bible said is very different if not the opposite of one another.
it was a conflict for me,
but i still chose my religion regardless what&how the philosopher goddesses addressed topics and issues in such a convincing,logical and sophisticating way.
so i think of philosophy simply as a matter of subject not as a base for my beliefs in life.
