Do you believe in Soulmates?

Question

A strange question to ask but I was curious on people's views. Do you or don't you believe that there is only one people out there for all of us and that fate and destiny brings you together?

Answer 1

yes i do i believe you know when you find your soul mate because if you loose them you just feel a space in ur heart no one can fill or you compare every other man to them but no one can match up to wat he was or wat he meant to you

Answer 2

You asked 2 separate questions.

Soulmates = yes..."only one people out there for all of us" = no way.

A soulmate is simply someone we feel a very deep tie or connection to. It's more often than not, not a romantic partner or lover. They can be our age, younger or older, and same or different sex...we may meet none or several in a lifetime.

The idea that there is "the one" ideal mate for each person out there in the world, is ludicrious and rather depressing. Do you realize there are over 6 billion people on the planet? Your odds of meeting that one person are less than your odds of winning the lottery and getting struck by lightening in the same day.

There are MANY potentially wonderful partners in the world for everyone who would like to have one. They cross our paths from time to time and if we're paying attention we may be able to spend some time with them for a while...there is no fate or destiny. Our lives aren't pre-scripted, this isn't a puppet show. It's all live and we're makin' it up as we go along. ☺

Answer 3

The original theory of soulmates comes from Plato. He theorized that in order to be born on Earth, a planet patterned with dualities ( black and white, day and night, good and evil etc.. ), the soul had to split into polar halves, i.e. male and female. And so, our souls were split prior to conception, just waiting to be born. From there we would seek out our other half as we experienced life on earth.

The trouble with this theory however is that it excludes homosexuality.

I tend to believe more in the theory of karmic soulmates. Souls tied together via karmic lessons, to help eachother learn from one life to the next. This means your karmic soulmate may not be a lover, it could be your father, a teacher, your child etc... The soulmates do not necessarily have a romantic relationship, but the bond is strikingly strong and significant nonetheless.

I believe that every lover I've had ( and there haven't been many ) was part of my destiny, here to provide a lesson for me to learn so my soul could progress. I believe the same is true about my friendships, my work experiences, my children..

Romantically speaking, there is more than one person out there for all of us at any given time. Commitment is a practical matter that has nothing to do with "soulmates". Do he and I get along well? Do we feel the same way about important issues? When we do not agree are we able to communicate effectively to find a solution?

Be honest with yourself.. How many times have you been enraptured in a new romance, felt completely head over heels and for sure s/he is "the one" only to find out a few months down the line that you were wrong?

Plato's "soulmates" makes for good reading and great "feel good" movies, but if you are looking for this in real life you are setting yourself up for heartbreak.

Answer 4

I believe in soul groups. I think groups of souls that vibrate to similar frequencies tend to find each other. Freeze frame a pond into which a stone has just been thrown. I see it as though you are the stone thrown into a pond and the ripples are like rings of souls. The closer the ring a soul resides within is to the center, the closer that group is to you.
In this scenario, it starts to make sense why so many of us are intrigued by the idea of soulmates, as anyone on our closest ring would qualify; why some people can lose a soul mate to death or bad decisions and yet find another; and why we have friends that we connect with on some unnameable frequency. Better yet it describes why we can come in contact with someone for the first time and feel such a strong connection that it seems as though you have always known each other.
Yes, I believe in soul mates, I just don't believe that we have only one. I do not believe they are our missing halves. I believe each of us is a complete being on our own.

Answer 5

I do to a degree. I believe we can have more than one soulmate depending of where we are in our lives. I thought at one time my husband was my soulmate. But he changed and betrayed me. Now I believe I have found another soulmate. Time will tell. After all I've been through, I still believe in love.

Answer 6

I don't believe that there is one person out there for everyone. I believe that you could be happy with a number of people. It's just whether you want to be or not. The timing may be wrong, but later in life you could end up happy with that same person you weren't happy with in the beginning. If that makes sense to anyone.

Answer 7

The excess of men that the people under me spoke about is why the divorce rate is so high. People don't marry for love. Instead they opt for convenience, money, or social status. Fate will always bring you to the person you are supposed to be with....it's up to you to recognize it for what it is.

Answer 8

Yes. i 100% believe in soulmates because i found my soulmate when i was in grade 9!

Good Luck I hope you find your's too

Answer 9

i believe in soulmates but not that soulmates are "the one and only person for you" i have one soulmate that i love to death but i know that we wouldnt work out in a romantic relationship. (we did for a while but thats a long story.) i think of a soulmate as someone who you "click" with, someone who you could be on a deserted island with and would enjoy it

Answer 10

Yes - because I can't imagine being so happy with anyone other than my husband. If I was with someone else then I'd have a different relationship and always hold the view that something was missing - (him)

Answer 11

i do believe in soul mates.. however i dont think their is only one person for one... i think that two people are meant for each other... and i think destiny brings you to that person. once you meet it just depends if its a good time and you're ready for a relationship... or a good mood or things like that.. i could for sure see missing the opprotunity.. thats why i dont think that their is only one person, if that makes sense!
good luck!
