love, love, love

according to an old Greek (?) myth, the first human beings were two-headed, and had four arms, legs n both male n female sex organs. the gods were jealous of this creature bcos-

-its two heads, placed back-to-back ensured that no one would be able to sneak up on it.

- its four arms enabled it to carry out different tasks at the same time, and be extremely productive.

-its four legs enabled it to walk fast, and without tiring.

- since it had both sexual organs, it was able to procreate by itself.

the world became filled with these humans, and this aroused the envy and fear of the gods. so they divided the humans' bodies into two, thus weakening them effectively. and since then, we have all been searching for our 'missing half', the one who would make us stronger and more productive.

or so the story goes...

of course, the story does'nt mention if it was hard for two different people to become one entity. the pros and cons when 'two become one', are:

CONS:

-having to give up certain parts of one's self

-needing to think about whats good for 'us' and not just for 'me'.

-compromising...'sigh'...

PROS:

-having each others backs; having someone who's always in your corner.

-when life sucks n u want to just give up, there will be someone to drag you along.

-procreation!! woo-hooo!!

well, whatever the case may be, being part of a couple is not always easy...but the pros outweigh the cons.. sooo, time to swallow my pride, and grasp the hand he's holding out. who am i kidding...i've always known it was just a matter of time before i gave in... and though i may fight every inch of the way, in my heart i know he's right... sigh...

happy valentine's day, all
