Soulmate. What is it? who is it? why it?
A soulmate is defined by dictionary.com as a person with whom one has a strong affinity. The definiton of a soulmate has been altered over the years to fit the hollywood cookie cut image. A soulmate is now usually seen as the one person who was made for you. I'm not sure what to make of this word and i'm not sure i believe such a person exists. I have met enough people to know that 1. people put on a front 2. people are never want they seem 3. people are selfish.
When two people (a man and woman) meet, they usually know from the first couple of conversations if their interactions will lead to something more meaningful. I guess i can understand why people would believe in a soulmate and make a bold statement as to say someone completes them. A few years ago, i met a man who was strong in every area i was weak in and vice versa for me and so we complemented each other. We completed each other in every way that it was almost scary. We understood each other to the point where it was like i could read his thoughts and him, mine. One day, while we were engaged in conversation, he told me i was his soulmate. This was the first time i had ever been referred to as such so i was flattered because this came from someone i cared deeply about. A few years have gone by and me and this person barely communicate, if ever. This makes me wonder if we were really "soulmates" as he said. Aren't soulmates supposed to be together forever in some sort bliss? One thing which irks me about the whole concept is are we all born incomplete? so that we can find someone to complete us??? I don't know about you but my mother birthed me from her loins 100% whole and completed. I would rather choose to believe me and the aformentioned male complemented rather than complete each other. I also find it hard to believe that with the world population and the ration of women to men increasing everyday, how is it possible for every person to be designated one other person to "complete" them? then we have that whole gay/lesbian thing. I guess i will live it up to GOD to do that math. Do soulmates really happen?
Peace&love
