Soul Mates

One day Herbert takes a walk down a path at the local park. On accident, while looking down at his watch he bumps into someone. When he looks up the woman he ran into lifts her head and looks at him. They talk, they laugh. Soon the become good friends, and then more. Eventually they get married, pop out a couple dozen kids or so and grow up to be wrinkly.

Now tell me, why did all this happen? Could it be coincidence? Fate? Freak accident? No, no, no! At least not if you ask me. Those two are probably soul mates who were lucky to run into each other during their lives. Sometimes it happens quickly in life, sometimes never at all, but regardless if it happens or not, there's a soul mate out there for you.

My knowledge of anything to do with soul mates is pretty much lacking. I've never thought too much on the subject until recently and yet, I'm still not sure all that's going on there.

I think what I've concluded is this. Out there in this vast world of ours, there is someone out there who is your soul mate. I'm not saying you'll meet, nor even affect one or the other's life, but they're out there. And if you DO happen to meet, you two will be best buds. I'm not going to say that your soul mate will become your companion. I don't know that and to me it doesn't make sense that just because they're your soul mate that you two must be a couple and someday pop out hundred of children like Herbert up there. I just think that you two will be best buddies forever.

Now another niggling problem I have is that I can't decide on something else to do with soul mates. Is it possible to have more than one soul mate? Heck, I don't see why not. If a soul mate is someone that is supposed to have a match to your soul, or at least that's my technical definition of one, then why couldn't there be someone with two matches?

I look at this question like I would towards twins and such. Since there is the possibility of having twins, though not as likely, that's why it seems like you never meet your soul mate, the odds are against us on this one. But also, the chances of having triplets is considerably less, but it is still there! Looking at it from that point of view makes me think that three people being soul mates is a possible thing, just maybe not that likely. So on and so forth.

There's more likely many of you out there that disagree with what I have to say. Heck, that's the whole point of writing this, just to give my opinion on a matter, and that's what I did. If you have any arguments or comments, send them to me. If you wish I can put yours up if you write a follow up ramble to argue this one.

I'll state it one more time though just in case you didn't catch it the first time, I am not knowledgable about soul mates. What I know and what I think about them is quite little, so that's why I'm vague on some parts and I may even contradict myself as I write, proving that my ideas change just as quickly as I get them out.

If you have a better theory on this, please send it in, that way people can actually read something that makes a bit more sense with an actual opinion instead of a tiny idea on the matter.

The Soulmate Theory. Many people do not believe in it. However there are
always those who do. And I (aswell as Nick) happen to be two of those spesh
people (Although our thoughts are rather conflicting). I've got a couple of
things I would just like to add to the previous ramble on
Soulmates...perhaps elaborate a little.

Regarding the ideas of having more than just the one person to be that
unique character are simply preposterous. Aswell as the "the chances of
having triplets is considerably less, but it is still there! Looking at it
from that point of view makes me think that three people being soul mates is
a possible thing, just maybe not that likely". BAH! If that were the
case...to be happy, why don't we all just boost our hormone supplies and
have quintuplets. Coz you and I know, 'then it's possible to have that many
soulmates'!? That's a ridiculous theory.

I feel there is only one person whom can be your soulmate. And the two of
you form the personal and rare bond between each other. Not you and two or
however many other people.

Aye, as Nick has stated: 'everyone out there has a soulmate'. But being as
woeful and tragic as this theory is, it is more likely than not that you
will never meet this wonderful person. Perhaps the pessimism in me is
talking, you say. But this is reality people. UNDERSTAND IT!

You may love, marry, squeeze out some kids and get old, while some type of
furrow formation makes its home on your decrepid body (just like Herbert and
his 'lucky' to meet wife). But often, it is not your soulmate you marry.
Just a person. Someone you fall in love with.

I believe that within the first days, weeks or months or so of when you meet
someone, if you do not believe this person to be your soulmate. Then
unfortunately, they are not. After a while of knowing people, you grow to
love them of course. And after so long a time...you tell yourself 'we;;, i
love them with the deepest form of love...they must be my soulmate'. SUCH
ARE FRAUDULENT THOUGHTS PEOPLE!! Had you not already believed it, then it is
not true. Why should you have to settle with convincing yourself of
something which is a lie? And this, this is why divorce can is sometimes a
blessing.

You might love many times over. But until you find that one person who
fulfills your EVERY need. And not one thing would you change about them or
them about you. You have not found your significant other. Until then...
