As a nice reprieve from the toxic modern world here is a nice painting of a wholesome heterosexual duck family.

Notice how the drake (male duck) stands tall and proud as a watchful sentry over his family, ever alert for danger, whilst the mother duck tends to her ducklings, confident that their father will neither became lazy in his duties or abandon his post.

In “The Symposium”, Plato has Aristophanes, a famous Greek theatre and comedy writer, tell the story of the Soulmates.

As Plato puts it:
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs & a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”

There were three genders in nature: Man, Woman & the “Androgynous”, which literally means man-woman in Greek. Each gender had two sets of genitalia, the Androgynous having both. The gender of humans had to do with their origin; Men were children of the Sun. Women were children of the Earth. Andorgynous were children of the Moon, born out of the merging of the Sun & the Earth.

There was a time humans were very powerful creatures, fearless & strong, even daring. They threatened to conquer them & rule in their stead, to become new Gods. So the Gods had to answer, how to face the threat & what needed done to restore balance/harmony.
