I was recently turned on to this story by a dear friend. I absolutely love it and think it is fascinating.

In a basic summary, Humans used to have four arms, four legs, and one head with two faces. We were strong and challenged the gods. In return the gods split us in half and sealed our wounds unto our bellies so we would forever remember the pain of being separated. Now we are on the constant search for our other half that we were separated from.
There is more to the story, but I find that I get more out of reading something than if someone tells me about it.
Hope this spurns on some thought with someone :-)
Namaste,
Conifer18 :-)
