I'm curious about something. I know a lot of mythology from my own world, but I'm interested in hearing about any another kind of mythology that's not well known on Earth around the 21st century. For instance, I remember reading a Greek story about how males and females were first created and I know there's differences between it and, say, Biblical mythology.

The one I remember reading was written by Plato. He said that humans used to be a mix of two people that consisted of one male and one female so they had two heads and eight limbs, but the gods didn't want them getting too powerful so they separated them into men and women. Supposedly that's where 'soulmates' come from, because you're looking for your other half. I'm also a little curious what people think of that story. [He absolutely does not have a personal ulterior motive for asking that particular question, none at all, nope.] Do you think there's any truth to it? That there's really such a thing as 'soulmates'? ... Or if it's even as limited as having to be between a man and a woman?

Mm. Have died a few times, actually. Never went anywhere, not even some place that could be described as a "Tartarus" or a "Hell".

But then, it could be possible that this so-called soul never left my body, and that's why. Or maybe those experiences are just forgotten. [She's heard of some stories where people come back from newr death experiences more depressed and fucked up than before. Most are completely changed, either way.

[Shrug.]

Who the hell knows.

Sounds like different worlds' afterlives work differently anyway, so yeah. Who knows how each world works, exactly.
