RE: Do You Know the Origin of Love?

in #philosophy7 years ago

I first heard about this story in college (freshman philosophy, if I remember correctly). Imagine my surprise when it popped up in a cheesy 80s movie (yes, it came out in the early 90s, but it screams 80s - LOL!) called, "The Butcher's Wife." Demi Moore tells the story to Jeff Daniels, who tells her it originated with Plato.

Speaking of movies, it's been far too long since I've seen Hedwig - I'd completely forgotten about that song. Thanks for the reminder. 😊

Love your message, and especially love your choice of gifs!

Ah, The Butchers Wife, I had forgotten about that movie! Great clip--sometimes I notice that this story pops up here and there when I’m least expecting it..I’ve always loved it..it’s a rather romantic explanation for the concept of soul mates. :) Thank you for showing the love and support! :)

You're very welcome, and right back atcha!
