love + soul = soulmate

Human beings love each other. In sex, in friendship. And when they're in love, they cherish other beings; humans, animals, plants, even stones. The quest for happiness and the promotion of happiness is in all of this and the power of our imagination.

Every human soul has seen, perhaps even before their birth, pure forms such as justice, temperance, beauty, and all the great moral qualities which we hold in honour. We are moved towards what is good by the faint memory of these forms, simple and calm and blessed, which we saw once in a pure, clear light being pure ourselves.
