My Mother was telling me earlier that the meaning of life is love. Could it really be? I mean, sure, we all grow up, have realtionships, get married and all that, but could the meaning of life be to find that one true soul-mate? I thought there was a slight flaw there. What if you NEVER find your soul-mate. You are doomed to a life of lonliness and possible rejection. If the meaning of life is to find a soul-mate, then those that never find them, does that mean they have failed life? I think not. While I DO agree with the soul-mate thing, I belive it IS possible to complete life's journeys without a soul-mate. I beleive that life is what you make it. Whether or not you find "That person" is another thing. I consider it a lucky thing, but a thing none the less.
What do you alll think about this?

Although, if you've been in love before, like I have. Life just...doesn't feel the same without that person. Life isn't so...enjoyable. I think it's best not to fall in love at all. You don't have to experience or deal with that pain.

You need to expand on the Love definition...its the chapter you haven't gotten to yet. love of children...
I think that we all meet soul mates .. its a matter of waiting and being happy whether you meet 'him " or not. Being complete even if he never comes. Yeah. many people meet that soul mate just as they stop looking.... and are happy being .... being who they are and happy being alive, and happy in their life. They have stopped searching and looking around each corner for that 'One" But I also feel that some people do have that great love... and sometimes its a romance that few people have. ( I think that due to their own hang ups and stuff is holding many people from that. ) I agree .
but turning to the back of the book .. IS the chapter that you haven't gotten to ... I say this because .. it can happen with or without a spouse...( lets face it adoption and science make things possible. ) BUT your mom is right... because she loves you and guides you ... and that love is as great or stronger than a romantic love...its the love of your children .. Like
Holding your new born child a few moments after it has been born ... pretty much is a feeling that is indescribable .. Having your one year old sitting in his bath tub playing with his rubber ducks an you hear him say "quack quack" for the first time... Or hearing a child say " I love you " Or your baby wanting to kiss you .. all feelings that are love and worth millions .

I'm with you. Life is what you make of it. You can be just as well off with or without this "soul-mate."

Your mother is true,
Life without love is nothing.
I do agree with her

not always and not for everyone.I agree with you!It is important to love and be loved but you can live and without that (although it's more difficult when you don't have someone with whom you can share everything)
