Soulmate

Someone asked on a message board:

Soulmate: What the heck does it mean?

My response:

The concept of soulmate(s) is similar to the concept of god(s). Most of the arguments, thoughts and theories about god(s) can be applied to soulmate(s) with little or no modification:

1. Does god / soulmate exist?

2. Is there one god / soulmate or are there many?

3. What is the gender of god / soulmate?

4. People have debated god(s) for centuries. They will continue to do so. Reason: It is impossible to reach any one conclusion which applies to everyone, everywhere, everytime. The same can be said of soulmate(s) also.

5. Any person who argues that their idea / experience of the god(s) is the only true experience is being foolish and short-sighted. The same applies to soulmate(s) too.

6. The experience of god(s) is very personal. For the same person, the experience is different at different times. This is true of love and soulmate(s) also.

So on and so forth.
