At a famous dinner party in ancient Athens, when the conversation turned to love, the comedian Aristophanes said that we can’t understand love without knowing how we began.
Not quite as we are now. We were once spherical creatures, rolling around on four legs and four arms, with two faces and twice the pride. So full of ourselves, in fact, that our arrogance provoked the envy—and ire—of the gods.
On the brink of destroying us, Zeus thought twice. Instead, he decided to cut us in two. From that cleaving was born love: the longing for our missing half. A deep soul desire to become whole again. Love is, in essence, our desire to recover our original nature.
Love is love. But the Greeks had three words. There was eros—romantic love; philia—the love between friends and equals; and agape—a boundless, universal love.
In homage, Earth Therapeutics has embroidered a heart ❤️ on our trio of new THERA•SOFT MOISTURIZING SOCKS—a little reminder of the love that connects us all.
Treat yourself to the cozy, sumptuous comfort of THERA•SOFT MOISTURIZING SOCKS, infused with rich Shea Butter and soothing Peppermint to nourish your soles. And now, with a heart stitched right in, they carry a little more love with every step.
