Is there such thing as a soul mate?
I have never had a girlfriend, nor am I in any hurry to get one. But what I am wondering, is there such thing as a soul mate? I have seen soo many people get in love, then break up. Or get married, then after a few years divorce. So if people keep doing that, how can they find their 'soul mate'? Or will they ever find a 'soulmate'? undecided

I believe there is something like that but only a small percentage of people are opportuned to experience it

Fiery

Some last for years.. others have short time as tragedy strikes or things happen

Like Richard Burton and Liz Taylor

Yes. I believe in soul mates.

But it is something you build, not like there's someone out there specifically made for you.

A soul mate is a rare person you meet in one of life's rarest moments who understands you inside and out.
Sometimes people on the outside might wonder what it is he/she sees in you or you see in him/her.

The person with whom you have the kind of love that you never forget
The person you can forgive anything if they want you back.


But you have to be careful,as it is not always healthy especially if you're the emotional type.
Losing a soul mate can change your life if you're not well equipped to handle such loss.

Not everyone finds a soul mate.
Most people have a happy life despite never having found a soul mate.

There is no such thing as ‘soul mate’. It's about two people making a relationship work. Built your partner into your Soulmate.

Great Breakup! cheesy
I also think it's someone you built in a relationship. Not someone waiting for you to find them. Sadly though, most of my pals think otherwise. Thanks!

Thats just what came to my mind
Accounts of their love was passionate and deep

A fictional account is Micheal Corleone and his Sicilian wife

Well it depends, if by soul mate you mean someone you can have a deep connection with. Someone who has the right traits, traits that are relevant to you as an individual. Someone you can put up with and who, more importantly, can put up with you. Then yes, there is a soul mate but if you are talking about that one person that was created for you and you alone then NO.

The concept of the soulmate shows up in cultural stories around the world. For instance, in Greek mythology, humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them in half, condemning them to spend their lives looking for their other half to complete them.

Essentially, it's about two separate people that came from the same soul (four legs, four arms, two faces, one mind, one heart, one soul) - Soulmates. The Greeks, like others, were describing the feeling the best way they knew how. It's an interesting concept. Even the biblical story of Adam and Eve, whether fact or fiction, gives us a similar vibe. It's about a man and a woman who were "made for each other". Literally. In my mind, it isn't as far-fetched to assume that their supposed offspring might be the same in that aspect, but there I digress.

Still, if true, the probability of finding this "one and only" person would surely be extremely slim (especially if this soulmate thing is supposed to transcend race, religion, and all our other usual dividers...but I digress again).

In conclusion, I think it's an intriguing idea. I think it could exist, but that it would surely be rare if it did - that it's possible to be happy with "others". Lastly, I think too much personal investment into the concept of finding/having a soulmate can be detrimental.

Now, this is it, Hook, Line and no Sinker cheesy.she made good points.. However, a soul mate is someone you share a lot in common . I suppose John Lennon and Yoko Ono were soul-mates. Likewise Joan Boaez and Bob Dylan, same with Angelina Jolie and Brad-pit.... Soul mates are of another world. You must not necessarily fall in love to find you soul-mate.

In fact, a soul mate, is whom I seek. It would take an epistle to buttress this fact.

Just liken it to the scent of a woman or the body ordour of a hard-working man wink

Yes. And am a witness to it...
I met my soul mate at a young age. In 1996 but death took her from me in 2001 from then till now I have never been able to fall in love again and never will.

Soul mate is good only if you two are together. But when u lose your other half, life can be very very very meaningless.

Eyaa sorry. This really got my attention.
You sound so sure she was. Don't think it's because Maybe you loved her genuinely. Just a thought.

The word, bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh has more meaning than we think.
Soul mate is deep from the soul. The love that is involve in soul mate is something you feel once in a lifetime. I have experience that kind of love but death took that from me. I will get marry someday but will never love again as I once did with my soul mate.

eeyahh, sorry. guess it's safe to say everyone has their idea of who a soulmate is n what it means to dem. glad u got 2 experience it... if u say u met ur soulmate but also sad for u cuz she's no more. by ur words, u seem 2 b struggling with d loss still N u uself don't want 2 move on for d better. hv u gone for counselling, therapy? u think u can never "build" dat kind of luv with any1 else or u don't want to?
Re: Is There Such Thing As ‘soul Mate’? by jnrbayano(m): 3:53pm On Jul 31, 2014
"Soulmate or Soul mate" to me is just an English word (adjective) or phrase used to qualify two persons who love and understand each other.

Those two persons are usually a man and a woman and their union is not predetermined.

My thoughts.
