I see your point Daddy, but what I meant is that (I listened to the radio show where she spoke to her friend Gail) - when she said that OW didn't steal John Edwards, she just happened into a bad marriage and it was an attraction that they just could not deny, a powerful, spiritual force.
I'm sorry, that's an idiot. The man was married, if there was a powerful, spiritual force, she would have said "D your W and then come back to me, and we'll find out if it was meant to be." She would not have done what she did, which was sleep with him on the first date...
Oprah is upholding the Hollywood view of romance, that two people are powerfully attracted to each other and therefore there is nothing they or anyone else can do except allow them to sleep together.
I'm sorry, but if I were M and found that sort of attraction, I'd run the other way. There are many people you will be attracted to in a M, it doesn't mean you have to ACT on it. And if they were so powerfully attracted to each other, why didn't he D his wife (especially after they were outed and his political career damaged anyway) - and why did he pay her off with campaign funds to keep her quiet? Doesn't sound like "soul mates" to me.
That's why I said she was an idiot... not b/c she's not a very intelligent promoter of her "art" but because she's promoting amoral, incorrect behavior as spiritual and somehow a love story.
