Movie "Hedwig And The Angry Inch"
A song based on a story from Plato's Symposium...
"In the Symposium, a party is being held in which a series of speeches are given paying homage to Eros, The Greek God Of Love. "The Origin Of Love" is taken from the speech given by the playwright Aristophanes.
According to the speech, long ago, humans were composed of two people stuck back-to-back, with two faces and eight limbs...
Male-Male humans came from the Sun,
Female-Female humans from the Earth and
Male-Female humans from the Moon.
The gods, out of jealousy, split them in half.
Now, throughout our lives, we are always trying to find our "Other Half"...
Andsexual intercourse is the only means we have to put the two halves back together; this desire to be one person again is what we call "LOVE".
However, it is impossible to fully rejoin two people because it is our SOULS and not our bodies that most desire to be reunited."
Now, throughout our lives, we are always trying to find our "Other Half"...
And
However, it is impossible to fully rejoin two people because it is our SOULS and not our bodies that most desire to be reunited."

Since the first time I heard this song, I was
easily captivated by the lyrics and its message.
I'd keep on pressing the repeat button and came to the point that I've always play this even before I sleep at night.
I'd watched "Hedwig And The Angry Inch" - Live Original Cast (Off Broadway) on YouTube
And seriously I was amazed and shivers run down my spine.
Only one word came up to my mind to describe this play... AMAZING!
From the story up to the cast, the music, the costume, the lights and stage design. Everything is well put together. I can say this as a thespian that this show is a must see!

Finding TRUE LOVE doesn't always mean that it
will be easy as pie…
But still it us who make our destiny even though we may encounter a lot heartaches and breakups along the way, we need to face it and learn from those past relationships.
Always have a positive attitude that somewhere out there, that there is Someone Special looking also for their other half.

It us in the end will choose whether to
move on and find true love. ♥
