One and a Half

Do you believe in that the world is made up pairs? And no one is supposed to be alone? In Greek mythology, it is said that all humans used to be round and whole. In anger, Zeus spilt the balls in half and everyone has to spend the rest of the life searching for their other half. (Balls ?? Ok)

I do not know about balls. But what I do know is that the "other half" sydrome has hit us since the earliest of age whether you like it or not. And we have bloody terms for it. Playmates, Puppy Love, BF, GF, Partners, Lifehood Friend, Best Friend, wife, husband, date. We classified, categorised in admist to search and filter out that one of a half. Is that half/one so important? Technically, a half should just fit into an half. Because, they are all equal in shapes.

From another perspective, what if a half can stop all this filteration. And learn to compromise and find the connecting points , would they fuse as one?

I have all these questions. Yet, when I met a very special someone recently, I realised my dreams of a half resurfacing again. However, can we truly recognise our half when we meet them?
