GOD PARTICLES

“The shape of each human being was a rounded whole,

with back and sides forming a cirle.

Each one had four hands and the same number of legs,

and two identical faces on a circular neck.

Zeus had a plan by which human beings could still exist

but be too weak to carry out their wild behaviour.

And he cut each of them in two.

That’s how, long ago, the innate desire of human beings

for each other started: the desire to make one out of two

and to heal the wound in human nature.”

Plato - The Symposium
