This legend is rooted in Japanese culture and beliefs and symbolizes fate and the power of bonding. The red thread represents the idea that you are fatefully connected to the person you are meant to meet.

Attraction is the motivation.
Augustine’s conception of love as “a kind of craving” — the Latin appetitus, from which the word appetite is derived — and his assertion that “to love is indeed nothing else than to crave something for its own sake,” Arendt is propelling love. amor mundi — “love of the world”. The ancient Greeks, in their pioneering effort to order the chaos of the cosmos, neatly taxonomized them into filial love (the kind we feel for siblings, children, parents, and friends), eros (the love of lovers), and agape (the deepest, purest, most impersonal and spiritual love). Inseparable from the deepest wellspring of love: the personal, self-love, the mirror from love of other.
