See why men and women feel crazy for each other.
According to the great Greek Philospher Pluto, at the begining of creation, men and women were not as they ae now; there was just one being , who was rather short, with a body and a neck, but his head had two faces, looking in different directions. It was as if two creatures had been glued back to back, with two sets of genital organs, four legs and four arms.
The greek gods, were however, were jealous, because this creature with four arms could work harder; with its two faces, it was laways vigilant and could not be taken by surprise; and its four legs meant that it could stand or walk for long periods at a time without tiring. Even more dangerous was the fact that the creature had two differnt set of sex organs and so needed no one else in order to continue reproducing.
Zeus, the supreme lord of Olympus, said: "I have a plan to make these mortals lose some of their strength. "And he cut the creature in two with a lightening bolt, thus creating man and woman. This greatly increased the population of the world, and, at the same time, disoriented and weakened its inhabitants, because now they had to search for their lost half and embrace it and, in that embrace, regain their former strength, their ability to avoid betrayal and the stamina to walk for long periods of time and to withstand hard work. That embrace in which the two bodies re-fuse to become one again is what we call sex.
Well, I was reading the book "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho and found this interesting explanation for the sexual orientation of human mind. I was able to find only a couple of pages in the whole book which is captivating in nature and forces you to receed deep into thoughts. This was the one and I have to re-read the other part to understand it fully.
