The parable of the two halves of an apple

Philosopher threw the palm apple, turned, looking from different angles, and thoughtfully said:

- People believe that their souls are like apples

. - In terms of? - An interest in his pupil

. - More precisely, half - recovered philosopher. -. That's about

He carefully cut the apple in half and put it on the table.

- They have such a belief like for each person there is a perfect match. Like God, before sending the souls in the world, dissecting them in half, into male and female halves. As the apple. Here roam the halves seek each other. And they find? How do you imagine it? What is the likelihood of such a meeting? You know how many people in the world?

-. Many

- That's it. And besides ... Well, find them to each other, so what's next? Do you think that will make a whole apple and heal in peace and harmony?

- Well yes. Is not it? - Surprised student

. - No, not so - the teacher picked up on apple half and lifted them to his face. - That's two straight from the tin soul descend into the world. And as the world comes from the human souls? - Philosopher with a crunch took a bite of one half

. - World - he continued with his mouth - is not static. And cruel. He grinds by itself. One way or another. He cuts a piece, or bites, or even grinds to a baby purees.

He took a bite of the other half and for a while was silent, chewing.

The student looked at two stubs and swallowed.

- And now, - solemnly proclaimed philosopher - they meet

! He joined bitten halves.

- And that they are suitable to each other? No! And look here now, - the teacher took a few apples. - Cut each in half, down at random the two halves of different apples - and what we see

? - They are not suitable, - nodded student

. - Look further - there were two different halves together, he bit at a time with one and with the other hand and demonstrated results. - Well, what do we see? Now they form a pair?

- Yeah, - student nodded thoughtfully. - Now they fit together perfectly. Because the world of biting are not alone, but together!

Loving each other people become one: together enjoy life and together take the blows of fate, learn to understand each other perfectly, support each other and encourage them to achieve success

. And over time, some couples learn from each other, even habits are similar characters and complement each other ...

That is the second halves are not born but become.
