So I have never been the soppy romantic (well maybe in my teenage years). Anyway, I always hear people talk about soulmates and how they are destined to meet. I guess soulmates and fate go hand-in-hand. Well, I was reading a philosophy book the other day and there was a chapter about soulmates. It was very interesting. I guess Plato believed that long ago we were all androgynous creatures. However, with evolution or something, we were spilt apart into male and female. Therefore, we are always looking for out other half and that would be our soulmate. I think that reincarnation would have to fit into the puzzle also because obviously we aren't split before birth (unless we are identical twins).
Anyway, though I am a skeptic, it seems as if fate has played a part in my life and if it did then maybe I have found my soulmate. How else do you explain why a guy growing up in San Fransisco, moving to Germany, and then somehow ending up in a small town in WV? There are other circumstances too, that make it feasible, but I'm too cynical.
I think that some people miss out on chances because they are always looking for the ONE and never are happy. But then you have people who think that everyone they meet is the ONE.
I guess I am just curious: What are your thoughts on soulmates and fate?
