Love is Funny Business

The original meaning of platonic love is not the one we have for it today. In english,it is when there is only friendship when you want it o go further. In spanish it is an impossible love. Neither of these is accurate.

According to ______'s peice____, platonic love is a step on our way to diviness(Is that even a word?) , to heaven. He states that we have become humans because we have been smart enough to understand the presence of something so godly. Others who couldn't achieve this goal have become animals or something of less intellect. In order to get to heaven, we must grow wings. In this process, some fall off the beaten path therefore end up un "hell" The most important part of this journey is the growing of wings. This happens when you fall in love. When you recognize this godly feature in someone else and as a result see them extraordinarily beautiful. As you fall further in love with the person, your wings grow more and more. Although, there is a twist to all of this, you have two sides, the one that is good, respectful, and sees and consentrates on the beauty, and the other that is controlled by carnal desires. ______ represents them as two horses and a charriotsman. One horse black and the other white.
Foot-note: Here when he reffers to god (in this case when I refer to heaven or any religious figure) deals with enlightenment. Heaven=philosophy/absolute knowledge. Godly figure=beauty/ the desire to learn.. the ability to ask yourself, why?
In conclusion we are to go unto the divinity of knowledge to be able to grow.
