Friday afternoons are generally slow and no one writes anything. I just thought it might be interesting for people to post their thoughts on touchy subjects. Mine for this Friday afternoon is the subject of soulmates.
It's a rampant subject on this bb, the soulmate, mainly in the newcomer section. It's either the LBS feeling that the WAS is his/her soulmate, or it's the WAS that is cheating that couldn't help it because the person they were cheating with is their soulmate.
Any thoughts on the subject of the existence of a soulmate? Love at first sight?, "A deep connection"?
Mine is that any of these are fleeting, romantasizing the initial feeling of "love" that has everything to do with yourself and not much to do with the object of your desire. I'd bet that most people talking about their "soulmate" talk about how that person makes them feel and really doesn't have any knowledge at all about how they make the other person feel. I've personally never had someone I'd call a soulmate. I wonder if that means there is someone still out there for me. That's likely the problem with my marriages; I didn't find my soulmate. I'll let you know if I find mine in Vegas this weekend. For all I know she'll be on stage dancing around a pole.
That's it for this edition of Friday musings. Care to share your thoughts?
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
