Summary
The ancient Greeks told tales of how Zeus, fearing the physically perfect humans, split them in two. According to the legend, to love is to find one’s other half of a perfect whole. But to be only one half is to be imperfect, and Plato argued that we cannot love what is not perfect. I agree with him. The Ra’haam took perfect whole souls and made them a part of itself. In doing so, it, like Zeus, made what was once perfect imperfect. Half-souls forever searching, forever lonely.
After all, a star is most dazzling in the dark. Love requires that the other be other.
Snippets from after the war, before the epilogue.
