SOULMATES - Do they exist?
i was reading a blog of a friend of mine that he shares with his gfren and there was one on soulmates..it got me thinking again...ive always asked myself this "is there someone out there who is only meant for you?"...wat r the chances of actually meeting him or her? if ur reading this...tell me wat u think...
supposedly the Chinese believe that "God made us in pairs...... something that goes along the line of God paired us by tying our ankles together using some sort of red string that is only visible to immortals. Then He sends us down to earth leaving us with a quest to find our other half. When we do succeed, the red string tying the both of you & your partner, can be seen again.
i did some reading online and it seems the concept of soulmates arose from Greek mythology. Supposedly, our ancestors once had 2 heads, 4 arms. They did something to offend some God so that God punished them by splitting them down the middle, resulting in the creation of humans. So as a punishment, we are condemned to spend our lives searching for the other half, our soulmates.
Another weird site actually had a mathematical equation for "soulmate ratio", which is like a cost benefit ratio
Soulmate Ratio = Total Love Benefit / Total Love Cost
"Your soulmate is the person who will maximize your soulmate ratio and vice versa. If another person exists that has the ability to give you a higher soulmate ratio than the person you are with, then the person you are with is not your soulmate." hmm must get me a Love Calculator:)
I feel that Soul mates doesnt necessarily mean the person has to be ur lover or spouse. It can be in any kind of relationship, which do not always include romantic love. Frens can be soul mates...best frens better still...
We tend to think of our soul mate as The One who is there for us and to make us feel complete. A soulmate for me i guess can even be someone who is a total opposite of u but can read ur mind and soul..Someone who balances the Yin and the Yang i guess..some may have their freaky moments...some dont...but i guess as long as the person is able to tap into ur soul, understand ur needs, read ur body language, n give it all to u...then may be she or he is ur Soulmate...how would u know for sure if he or she was ur soul mate? check for red string? i dont think so:) i wish i knew man...
So what if u dont meet ur soulmate? for me, as long as he is closest to it id be thankful....i guess when u do meet someone who is kinda near perfect...dont question too much...enjoy it...let urself slip into it...cos u never know she or he may be your soulmate!!!
for me....i dunno whether i'll ever meet him..or may be i have already but just didnt know it...sigh

soulmate? Its a romantic idea. But whether god has someone for us is something we may never know.
Soulmates as friends? Hmm, if anyone has found their soulmate, how can you just be friends with them? How can you just be friends with someone who you know is your other half? I cant think of any other way of saying that. If your soul mate IS indeed the mathematical equivalent OR the closest thing to completing your uncompleted side, how can you simply remain as friends?
Seems a bit unfair to the soulmate eh?
Well, in all honestly, i dont think there are soul mates. I think ppl have to work to become soul mates. hehe.... i hope you find yours though.

Soulmates... are as pure an idea as the thought of finding your prince/princess charming. For the rare few who happen to bump into each other and know that this is the one for you, or that u are both meant to be, well i'm happy for you and at the same time i do envy such couples. I do beleive that there is a point in time when you do realise that this is it !!
But taking reality check, honestly most of us i think work hard at keeping relationships alive. Its a choice you take more than a few mins to decide, and when u do hopefully you have the strength to stand by it, cos its lifelong. And once u've spent that much time and love with a person inadvertently that person is gonna be ure soulmate :-).....
you'll find ures have faith :-)

I know this post was written back in 2005 but I found it in a search for wedding ideas. I found my soulmate and we are getting married. I would have never applied the word soulmate to any past relationship until now. She lives in Washington State and I live in North Carolina and we found each other. So do I believe there is one person that is perfect for you. Yes I do. .
