Perfect representation of love : According to Platos Symposium, human beings originally consisted of three genders-male, female, and the combination of the two. However, Zeus feared the power of the combined human form, and so cut humans into separate males and females, resulting in a perpetual ache of separation and a longing to regain the completeness by finding ones soul mate. According to Aristophanes love is the term describing the yearning and pursuit of each half to re-create the whole, a concept resulting from the split of the original body.
