Soul mates...!

No such thing.

Love is work,

Not magic.

I agree with both of you (to make it really confusing). I don’t know if I believe in Plato’s (I think Plato) idea of people being puzzle pieces and perfectly fitting each other. I don’t know if I agree with the idea of soul mates exactly.

But with the vast number of people out there, there are most likely several people who would seem a perfect fit. Was that person ‘made for you?’ I don’t really think so. But can there be someone out there who will understand you in a way that you’ve never known before and vice versa. I believe so.

But I also agree with @GoldenRex. All relationships take work and effort from both people. You have to nurture and support a relationship like you would any organism. So maybe a relationship between the right people will take work but feel like magic.

The illustration is pretty good and so as the message of it.

I can’t and shouldn’t worry about that.

I don’t believe in a soul mate. A polygamist cannot say that his many wives are all his soul mates. It’s all a numbers game, chance and probability.

Truthfully it’s rubbish to think in such terms for human interaction. We are a combination of a lot of things and what or who turns us on, who we are attracted too etc etc just covers too much ground. If you really think about it we there are heaps of potential partners out there. Sure there’s a finite supply, but we all have potentially a lot of partners!

I like @GoldenRex 's approach. Love is work. If your thinking there’s only one person out there to match you your selling yourself way short because there’s probably thousands in the right circumstance who could make the grade!

Live and love and leave yourself open to the opportunity!

This is ‘rainbow’ thinking. You feed us hope just to poison our souls. Love doesn’t exist

I don’t believe in love at first sight

[TheNicestFreak]

I don’t believe in things like fate. Nobody is perfectly suited for anybody. It’s just not logical to say there’s somebody for everybody. There aren’t even an equal number of males and females. Even if you factor in people that are gay or bi, nope, I don’t buy it.

I do however believe in insurmountable obstacles.

“ Love is a sort of fight, love is a fight. Without fight love cannot exist. They look opposite—-because we think lovers should never fight. It is logical: if you love somebody how can you fight? It is absolutely clear, obvious to the intellect, that lovers can never fight — but they do. In fact, they are intimate enemies; they are continuously fighting. In that very fight the energy that is called love is released. Love is not only fight, love is not only struggle, that’s true—it is more than that. It is fight two but love transcends. The fight cannot destroy it. Love survives fight but it cannot exist without it.” -Osho

My parents are definitely soul mates. Just because it takes work doesn’t mean it’s not the truest form of love. I can get into something more spiritual like soulmates but I don’t think I’m allowed to talk about it. And it’d just be opinion. Not fact.

I mean it’s all opinion. We humans don’t really know if there’s such things as soulmates. But if you had a “soulmate” you would definitely believe. If you don’t, well, I’m not even sure.

But this is OSHOs opinion (the quote above)
