Few people know about the origin of kisses. It is believed that in this way it is possible to exchange internal energy.

But, undoubtedly, Plato suggested the most romantic origin of this process. He believed that previously all people looked the same, namely they were a kind of creature in the shape of a ball, having four arms and the same number of legs, as well as two heads. It would seem that such a creature is terrible, but, nevertheless, it was self-sufficient and happy. And once the famous Olympic thunderer Zeus, angry, divided this creation in half. Since then, these halves are looking for themselves and only with a kiss can they understand whether this soulmate is related or not.
