Is your wife aware of how intimately you and Hannibal know each other?
In his dialogue The Symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about soulmates. Aristophanes states that a long time 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.
Zeus split those humans in half as punishment for humanity’s pride. Each human would forever long for their other half; the other half of their soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that.
