Love and the Soul

Now I have seen the names 'psyche' and 'eros' both translated in two different ways. Psyche I have heard as either "mind" or "soul," and Eros as either "love" or "desire" (or lust). When I put these together I found something interesting. The philisophical value I took from this story was that 'love' and the 'soul' cannot exist without one another, they need one another to complete and whole and by the same turn, 'lust' and the 'mind' go together as well. So love is born of spirit, the soul finding it's severed half as Plato said; and lust is of the brain, simply the mind working on it's baser instincts. This, in an odd way, gives me reassurance in the nature of love. In a world of visual cues and heavy sexuality, we are given a reminder that real love truly is born of the soul, even if it is erotic.
