The full quote is " Ἐπειδὴ οὖν ἡ φύσις δίχα ἐτμήθη, ποθοῦν ἕκαστον τὸ ἥμισυ τὸ αὑτοῦ συνῄει " 

Due to the fact that nature is cut in two (halves), each of the one - desiring the other- went to meet it (the other half) . -It basically means that during the creation of man , the nature of it was cut in two and from then on every half seeks to meet each other- .

It is from Plato's symbosium.  It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable men attending a banquet. The speeches are to be given in praise of Eros, the god of love and desire.

Good job Texas and Mississippi for reopening at 100% capacity and removing mask mandates! My thoughts on our catastrophic lockdown response to COVID:

“We’re allotted a little space on earth [and] we survive in that wilderness that can take back what it has given, as easily as blowing its breath on us or sending the sea to tell us we are not so big. When we forget how close the wilderness is in the night, my grandpa said, someday it will come in and get us, for we will have forgotten how terrible it can really be. [...] ‘Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that,’ [my grandfather] said, ‘shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.’”

Living...

life is a race,

a beautiful marathon,

in which we must sprint towards death,

to be able to say we competed.

My Thoughts last night.

Ever wondered why humans need emotions? Is it possible that there is a force unknown that is trying to create a balance in the world with emotions? Mentally ill people are often extremely smart and hold many ideas that the average human could not possibly think. If we could eventually figure out the right medication and remedies to relieve these people of their extreme side effects we could then help them to clarify their thoughts. We could find geniuses and improve lives. Thus  we need doctors and intelligent people that are payed well. Though we must remember  without the rest of society it would not be possible for these professionals to 'crack the code'. Therefore this is why we need variety to create balance. Rather than question or be depressed about our situation we have to see the bigger picture, not to lessen our ambition but rather to improve ourselves and take everything as it comes. Though we need emotions to drive us, if we didn't feel empathy we wouldn't donate to charities or help others and therefore the human race would die out. Though majority of people work hard and are generally 'good' people greed seems inevitable, Greed hold humans back from greatness as it creates imbalance within the world. If we could cure greed in humans we could achieve amazing balance in the world. As we bring the poor up from poverty and break the cycles of poverty we must also support the middle socio-economic class wavering between the extremes. We must help the middle socio-economic class as the gap between the rich and poor will become greater. A way to fix the imbalance long-term is to cure the human condition, to be able to fix greed to create a world that is equal. A world equal in the sense that everything that is done has a consequence whether they are good or bad. Though for this to work greed must be cured, this is so that corruption cannot leak into the system. If someone is a doctor then yes they should be paid well as they worked very hard, but, everyone should be given the exact same opportunities, love and support. Whether this is possible or not is up to you.
