Love – beautiful and intoxicating, heartbreaking and soul-crushing, often all at the same time. Why do we choose to put ourselves through this emotional storm? Does love make our life meaningful? Or is it an escape from our loneliness and suffering? Or a trick of biology to make us procreate? Is it all we need? Do we need it at all?
“Love makes us whole again.” Quotes Plato exploring the idea that we love in order to become complete. In his book “The Symposium,” he wrote about a dinner party at which Aristophanes (a comic Playwright) entertains the guests with a story.
A story about how humans had four arms, four legs, and two faces. Once, they angered the gods, and Zeus sliced them into two. Since then, humans have been missing the rest-half of themselves, and love is nothing but the longing to nd that other half.
However, this process of longing and searching is now at our ngertips, thanks to the Internet and the world of “Best Dating Apps.”
“In the age of the Internet, love is a whole new game to play.
Swipe left, swipe right, who knows, what might you nd today.”
However, there is more to it than just swiping. These dating apps might even help you nd a relationship that can turn into a marriage down the line or a casual dinner date with someone you vibe. Whatever your longing is, the best dating apps can help you nd your perfect match.

Coca Cola Blāk was a special drink that mixed cola and coffee avors. It was not like the regular colas you nd; it was something new and different. Some people liked the unique taste, thinking it was refreshing and cool. They enjoyed the mix of cola and coffee avors. But not everyone felt the same way – some found it strange or didn't like the taste.
It is made for grown-ups and older people. It tried to be different and appeal to those who enjoy cola and coffee. Even though it was interesting, not many people kept buying it. After a short time, Coca Cola decided to stop making it because it didn't become popular. So, it was a unique idea, but not everyone loved it, and it didn't stay around for too long.
