those inaudible cries

Being able to smile when being slightly misunderstood is good upbringing. When you’re wronged and you smile with calmness, it is generosity. When you’re being taken advantage of and you can smile, you’re being open-minded. When you are helpless and you can do a philosophical smile, you’re in a calm state. When you’re in distress and you can laugh out loud, you’re being generous. When you’re looked down and you can calmly smile, you’re being confident. When you’re being jilted in relationships and you can smile it off, you’re being suave.

According to Plato’s Other Half,

My second point is that the shape of each human being was completely round, with back and sides in a circle; they had four hands each, as many legs as hands, and two faces, exactly alike, on a rounded neck. Between the two faces, which were on opposite sides, was one head with four ears. There were two sets of sexual organs, and everything else was the way you’d imagine it from what I’ve told you. They walked upright, as we do now, whatever direction they wanted. And whenever they set out to run fast, they thrust out all their eight limbs, the ones they had then, and spun rapidly, the way gymnasts do cartwheels, by bringing their legs around straight.

“So saying, he cut those human beings in two, the way people cut sorb apples before they dry them or the way they cut eggs with hairs.“

Now, since their natural form had been cut in two, each one longed for its own other half, and so they would throw their arms about each other, weaving themselves together, wanting to grow together.”

but the harsh truth is…

love, is not by destiny

nor that your chosen partner is by fate,
or anything that has been decided for you.

love, like life, and many misconceptions of fate and destiny,
is a conscious decision made by you,
you bear it’s consequences and reap it’s benefits.

there was never one meant for you, or him, or her; for anyone.

so be brave,
and though some parts of you may try to hold you back,
make the jump.

you’ll never know where it would lead you to

…to paradise? :) 

Every action will create an equal and opposing reaction.
