    I think theres one, just one person that you can have a connection that strong with. They don't have to be your partner,but just someone that you feel knows you inside out,better than you know yourself. The person that you always call when things go wrong and that you know will always be there for you no matter what.

    well thats my two cents:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko

    No
    Maybe
    Can you repeat the question?

    What is this belief based on?

    No I don't believe in soul mates. I believe it's soppy sh*t that is made up by overly-sentimental people.

    Plato wrote in his Symposium that humans have been looking for their soul mate ever since Zeus cut them in half. In his mythic story, Plato describes a world where there were men, women and people who were both men and women. Apparently, humans began discussing how they could climb up to heaven and replace the gods. The gods were upset by this and discussed what should be done. The simplest solution would be to destroy mankind, but Zeus came up with a better idea. He suggested cutting all human beings in half. This would serve two purposes. First, it would immediately double the number of people making offerings to the gods. Second, it would weaken the humans, so they would not be able to carry out their plan. Zeus' idea was accepted, and the humans were all divided into two. Naturally, the humans were upset at this, and Zeus decided to enable each half to have intercourse with their opposite, symbolically creating a whole. Consequently, the males sought their female half, and the females sought their male half, allowing them to reproduce.

    I would have similar beliefs except that I believe that you have more than one - my husband is one of them for me, another is my father and I feel blessed to have both of them in my life.

    "Gold! Always believe in your sooouuulll (mate), you've got the power to knoooww!"

    Ahem. No I don't.
    However the idea of an evil soulmate may be the greatest thing I've ever heard.

    Oh God, that fu*king song is now stuck in my head....

    *back on topic* No I don't believe in soul mates. I'd just think that it is a television concept that has no real merit in ordinary life.

    This is a song about how soul mates came to be

    If its just a title for someone you connect with really really well, then yes, of course. If its some sort of illdefined magic nonesense about souls and destiny, then no, thats retarded.

    I don't believe in soul mates, but i'm only young. Somebody may come along that'll blow me away and turn me into a soppy little sh1t.

    So cynical nowadays young Zillah!

    As for me, I'm undecided on the whole soul mate issue, however I do believe in synchronicity and a notion of destiny. I think the experiences we have in life are necessary to teach us the lessons we need to ultimately understand, and it seems to have happened to me many times so far.

    I didn't really at the start of the thread but now i've been thinking about it..
    I've 'heard' that everyone has a hunger for love, its like a hole in the soul and until that space is filled it remains a void. Some people fill it with drugs or alcohol, some eat and eat until they feel full and some people meet someone who completes them, and maybe thats what a soulmate is. Someone who fills the hole in your soul.


    ahh crap..I had to be nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Does that mean that junkies and drunks have no soul mate?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    welll....theoretically its not that they dont have a soulmate but maybe (like me) their soulmate isn't alive anymore, or maybe they just havent gotten to know them yet. or maybe they're too preoccupied with drugs, (which can fill the void really well) that they're quite happy with the alternative. Multitudes of reasons.o
