Plato said,

Once we were whole

four arms, four legs, and two heads

We had long conversations with ourselves

and assisted each other in daily life

We were never alone

 

But then Zeus

(the actual reason for 90% of drama in Greek mythology)

threw down thunderbolts

and split us in half

His reasoning being

we would gain too much power

 

Thus leaving us doomed

to wander the earth forever

in search of our other half

so that we could be whole again

 

Zeus just had to be a jerk, didn’t he?
