We all long for a love that is only for us, made in the heavens above, none like any other. The whole 'the-one-on-cloud-nine' concept TV screens usually portray, is undoubtedly some of our deepest, sincerest desires.
Soulmates are very real in the fictional world, but how real are they, in the real world? To be completely honest, we don't exactly know ourselves, but if we had to choose a stance, we'd say that soulmates aren't exactly what it has been made to be.
One person, perfectly pre-destined to be yours forever, having no other relationship work out, till you finally meet each other and live happily ever after? Come on.
We're no pessimists, but check out these 5 reasons why we don't believe in soulmates, and see for yourselves.
#1 No two people are made perfect for each other
No one is perfect, no relationship is perfect, so how can two people be perfect for each other? Perfection in itself doesn't exists.
Every relationship has its ups and downs, so no matter how suited you may be for a person, it is never going to be smooth-sailing, happily ever after, all day, everyday.
There are bound to be mishaps, and the two of you would have to deal with them, as they come.
#2 Soulmates are not given, they are earned
You don't stumble upon a soulmate, you meet someone, your feelings grow for them, and the two of you work every day, in order to make your relationship last.
Relationships take effort, people take effort.
You don't get a soulmate, you fashion yourself into becoming one, learning, loving, understanding, caring, forgiving, respecting, for the sake of your significant other.
#3 If you believe in logic, your chances don't add up
When all Maths, Science and Geography come into play, your chances of meeting one person destined to be yours, in a world of 7 billion people? Well, let's just say, it's kind of impossible.
Realistically, the chances of you ending up with someone, boils down to the people you're closest to geographically, and how much time you spend getting to know them.
#4 There isn't a 'need' to find someone else to complete you
Going in search of someone to complete you, comes from a place of need, and this is one of the most unhealthiest way to begin any relationship. You're your own person, and you were already created complete.
Finding someone else to do this for you, will only result in toxic relationships. How will someone else love you with all they have got, when you can't even begin to love yourself that way?
#5 Soulmates could have infinite meanings
We often delude ourselves into thinking that soulmates are reserved for romantic relationships. But, if its very concept is more metaphysical in nature, then why should its definition be so limited?
Why can't soulmates be more than one person, with different natured relationships? They could be in the form of friendships, or a sibling, or even with a furry friend.
Ultimately though, there isn't definitive proof of whether soulmates exists or not. But you've got to admit we have pretty stable reasons why they're more to a no, right?
