True Love

Greetings,..................ok the topic today will be short and brief.......its a simple question is thier a "Soul Mate"? What does it mean? Is there more than one? There are millions of people in the world from all backgrounds and ethnicities. Think about personalities of all the millions of people in the world, is there just one the goes perfect with you or is the several.....? Is it a matter of finding them, them finding you, or the stars being aligned? Now if that happens, what happens if there is more than one and you meet that person?

Today is interesting because I think that question has been posed but, not been explored in depth.


Until............

Well there are a couple ways to look at it, for those who think there is only one soul mate for every person, cool. However, for those who think it's possible to have more than one, in this case are they really your soul mate? If you feel that someone is your soul mate, but there is someone else out there that you have the same feeling about, it is possible that one of your choices isn't your TRUE soul mate, but instead may be someone you really dig or can get into on many levels. A soul mate, is a strong term... I am sure everyone has their own perception of what a soul mate is, but I think in my eyes, there can only be one person that could give me that joy day after day, that no matter what adversity we face, we can surmount them together, one person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, etc. Like one of my favorite quotes say "Love isn't when you find someone you can live with, rather someone you can't live without" and another that says " Love isn't finding someone who completes you, but someone you can share your completeness". We love several people in our lifetime, and I feel that each person you love, shares a special kind of love and often times we do not love everyone the same. I may love my "first" in one way, love "my baby daddy" in another way, my "best friend ",etc. They may all be unconditional, but there is just something about the words "SOUL MATE". However, just because you have found your soul mate, doesn't mean that you won't be attracted to, interested in, or intrigued by someone else. So in MY OPINION, I think there is only one "soul mate" and anyone else can maybe labeled as a lifelong friend, or soul buddy.?.?. LOL

Great Topic

Good point however I think that is conditional thinking. Billions and Billions of people so you can't say there is only one because you will never experience them all to do process of elim. All good points and thats one that may need further attention. Let me sit on my thoughts some more and I will add to this one

I can see it from both perspectives. There are billions of people in the world. I understand why some people say there is more than one soul mate, but I am unsure I will meet more than one, if that is a better response... With the world being so large and filled with so many people, another question is, if there is indeed more than one soul mate for everyone, what are the chances that you will meet more than one, if you meet one at all? I am very open-minded and always ready to listen to reason.

Who said that a "soul mate" has to be a potential significant other? There are those who believe that a soul mate could be a person of the same sex (assuming that you're heterosexual) who simply indulges you on many different levels. In other words not, necessarily a person that you're sexually attracted to or intimate with.

NaturallyEJ said...

You could be correct, but when you look up the definition of the word mate you'll find that it says one of a matched pair: spouse. That's why I jokingly said the other person whom your not sexually attracted to or whom isn't your significant other could be labeled lifelong friend or "soul buddy". Just the term mate makes most people think in that way, but that does not make it right, great point HKKelly.

Great point HK, you have a great point to explore. Are we limited in thought that a soul mate is a member of the opposite sex? Could your very very very very best friend be your soul mate? One would have to pose the question what is a soul mate vs. what is a best friend? When I think of the term "mate" I consider that in terms of a sexual connotation (sp) either homo or hetero. I still would have to say when you find your soul mate you still have to compromise your likeness, I think when you are in a relationship you compromise your differences but, when you find that person that is so in tune with you "soul mate" you have to compromise your likeness: meaning I like what you like and I am open like you are open but, there is a intense passion to explore the others likes, creativity etc. When you are in a relationship compromising the differences of a non soul mate are, I like this and you don't like this what is the middle ground. Very interesting twist HKELLY thank you
