I'm wondering how many people believe in Soul Mates, is it something people would like to believe in but sadly lust gets in the way?.
Does modern society kill off this idea at an early age and is it just me that thinks this is a wonderful concept that can be wonderful to believe in, however foolish and unlikely it may be?.
I would put this in Question Time but i think everyone should have a view on this?.

i believe in soul mates. However i dont believe that everyone will meet theirs. If they do, they're very lucky, but your soul mate could live in a place you've never even dreamed of, and u'll never meet them, it doesnt mean they dont exisit, just that you havent been lucky enough to meet them....
does that make sense?
This is very very true, to meet your soul mate u have to be incredibly lucky to do so.....Quote:

Personally I agree with Elmo and there is such a thing as soul mates, I would like to believe Ive met mine :-)

Goggle for "the Ladder Theory"
I believe in soulmates - though I do not believe there is just "one" - I believe they are dotted around and about . . . just like partners, there's alot which would be the "right" one, but it depends on which one you come across first.
I think "soulmate" is also a subjective term, some people will tend to see their "soulmate" differently to how others see their "soulmate" (if you know what I mean).
I also seperate the perception of soulmate and partner. Ive learnt that lesson.
Pretty much perfectly summed it up for me aswell :)Quote:

i used to. I thought id found mine. I dont know if things will be like they were.
I think the likelyhood of a soul mate is acutally quite high - for they must be totally into everything you are in every way right? Does it have to be of opposite sex? or just 2 people who totally understand each other in every way.
Maybe, although i like being an individual amungst a variety of friends, it doesnt bother me that much.
Thats what I meant by the word "soulmate" being subjective - they can be anything you just mentioned, or none of them barr the last bit - understanding (well, you can leave that bit out if you define soulmate differently!)Quote:

i believe in soul mates,me and mine are having a few problems though at the moment but things will get better in the end. i honestly thikni have fonud my soul mate and i want to be friends with him for eternity.no matter what happens i will be there for him like he has me.

I think your soul mate may well not be your lover....it may well turn out to be your best mate......it might be a devotion thing, a relationship thing....
so its not always a sex thing
more or less same here. I dont not believe in soulmates but then ive never found someone afaik who would fit the catagory. perhaps only some people have soulmates (im not saying i dont, but perhaps not everyone does)? they are quite a modern thing because 100 years ago you would probably only ever have met about 100 people in your life, whereas now you meet thousands..Quote:

Hmm interesting thought there 5Lab, I hadn't thought about the numbers of people we meet as coming into it.
If you "meet" and by meet i mean come in contact with ~50 people a day in 70 years of being on this earth you would have met over 1million people.
Obviously count out repeat meetings etc,
And its still going to be a stupid number of people.
sounds like a needle in a hay stack to me ;)

For me, the numbers, mathematics and statistics wouldnt really come into it.
Then again, I have a liberal & slightly distorted view of fate (which I suppose is another discussion entirely).
though Id agree with modern life you meet a lot more people just by doing what you do anyway without having to make an effort - but you wouldnt really stay in equal contact with all those people would you?
I dont think a soulmate's about searching for them either. Old saying that if you look for something, you aint ever gonna find it - and it comes back to what I mentioned about fate, you'll somehow just "find" each other.
i thought i believed in soul mates,but i dont know what to believe anymore,all mine has done recently has hurt me,even if he meant to or not. i hope soon i will finally realise if i believe in them or not
well i had a nice long reply written last night, except the server fell over as i clicked the submit button (no it wasn't me :()
to sum up my view is yes there are soul mates out there, you're lucky to find them, and you should fight tooth & nail to hold on to them, and never take them for granted
never knew you felt that way Zak33 mate ;)Quote:

you needa minor slap.....
*posts Slap in jiffy bag*
on it's way.....
I mean it tho....sometimes, you meet someone as a kid and never ever lose their friendship....you can go months or YEARS and when you meet up, its like old times in 5 seconds flat.
Me and Deck and me and another mate (lives in Rugby).......always be soul mates...we understand each other...how we tick, never piss each other off, leave each other alone when we know its best, and no words need saying.
THATS A SOUL MATE :)
Oo good summary :) Going on that, I can safely say who my soul mate is!Quote:
