The Probability of Soulmates Someone told me that everybody has a Soulmate and that you’ll rarely end up together. I was told most people see their soulmate at least once in their lifetime. I’ve always wondered if it’s true. Do soulmates exist? If so do you ever meet them or are they just another person you’ll never encounter? Some say they have actually married their soulmates. I like to believe that if there is someone out there who could be identified as your “Soulmate” that when you meet them it's a warm feeling, a feeling that it feels like all the loneliness goes away. I was looking around and I found two interesting stories on people finding their soulmates in amazing ways. Someone on the social media site Whisper shared, …show more content…
I strongly believe that there is or was someone out there who you are or were perfect for. Out of everyone in the history of humans, there was definitely someone who you would’ve been perfect for. I also think that if everyone had found their soulmates and were with them that war wouldn’t go on, that there would be peace. I think this because war wouldn’t be worth risking that you may never see your soulmate again. That one day you could wake up and find out that your soulmate had died. Nobody would want to risk losing the one person that completed them and took all the loneliness away. I also think that having a soulmate isn’t great. If we were to end up with that one person exactly like you that made them perfect it would be weird. It would be like being together with yourself or your twin. That’s gross! I mean being together with yourself wouldn’t be necessarily bad for a Narcissus, but it would be awkward. This person likes almost everything you like or they are the exact opposite than you. Either there would rarely be arguments or there would frequently be arguments. Having someone in between is the best because it also gives you the opportunity to like new things as
True love is like a precious black pearl, it is so rare that many believe it to be a myth, but Hermia and Lysander found true love according to the following excerpt said by Lysander from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The Lais of Marie de France is a compilation of short stories that delineate situations where love is just. Love is presented as a complex emotion and is portrayed as positive, while at other times, it is portrayed as negative. The author varies on whether or not love is favorable as is expressed by the outcomes of the characters in the story, such as lovers dying or being banished from the city. To demonstrate, the author weaves stories that exhibit binaries of love. Two distinct types of love are described: selfish and selfless. Love is selfish when a person leaves their current partner for another due to covetous reasons. Contrarily, selfless love occurs when a lover leaves to be in a superior relationship. The stark contrast between the types of love can be analyzed to derive a universal truth about love.
It is said, in Greek mythology, that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. The god Zeus feared their power. So he split them all in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them. Now, those people are called ‘soulmates’. The story that is about to be told is is about soulmates, who prove that they can prevail any obstacles love throws at them.
When we find a love interest and have an opportunity to commit to him or her, we usually do, not noting the consequences we may face by doing so. The first few times around, however, the outcome is usually not the one we had expected and hoped for. Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie and Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God portray two young women on their trek to find the perfect love. Even though Carrie Meeber and Janie Crawford have almost nothing in common, they both shared the impact of the same consequences. Carrie and Janie show how people of countless numbers of backgrounds can share the same experiences and consequences through their journey of love.
Soulmates, made for each other, meant to be, written in the stars, crafted by destiny, a pure product of passion… fate plays it’s role as well, as it is virtually destiny’s sister. Romeo and Juliet are undeniably perfect for each other. Their creator, Shakespeare, ha...
The concept, destruction of identity, in Toni Morrison’s Beloved emphasizes the struggles that the characters had to endure to gain their freedom, constantly reminded of the devastation in the past. It reflects the negative impact that slavery had on everyone, destroying the identities of the characters not , just emotionally, but physically and spiritually as well. Sethe, Baby Suggs, and Paul D. were former slaves who lived in freedom, but were haunted by Beloved’s presence that brought upon suppressed memories and increased their self-alienation from the world. The history of slavery is acknowledged through the different character’s perspectives that tells the story of their dehumanized slave life to get a glimpse of their traumatizing experiences. Through characterization and comparison perspectives, Morrison in Beloved argues that slavery hinders the ability to progress as an individual, but time revitalizes the human spirit which ultimately gives identity to one’s self.
In this universe, your soulmate’s first words they say to you show up on your wrist during your tenth birthday. A soulmate is a person who's matched with another. Of course, there is more than one soulmate per person. Usually, if you have two or more you have to choose, I’m lucky in my own way that I don’t have to choose.
Just as people exemplify love for their family, they also show love towards their friends and partner. The only difference is most people 's actions show the different meaning of the word love. For example, when people acquire best friends or friends that they are really close with, they let certain guards down in order to become close with them. This group of people usually does things together to show how much they love each other, such as getting gifts for another for birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays. Not only do they physically give each other things, but they also figuratively give each other things, such as time. When a friend is down, they may go to them and ask, “What’s wrong?” That shows the love they have for one another.
In our daily lives, we always mention love and experience love. However, no one can truly, completely know what “love” is. That is the reason why love has been a topic that many philosophers, psychologists or common people keep discussing for decades. Besides, we often talk about “self”. There are classes to teach people how to build up their self-esteem and self-confidence. Also, the importance of self-discipline is taught at schools. In this essay, I am going to talk about how love and self are related to me with my personal experience as explanations.
I disagree and would argue that being in love and loving someone has two very different meanings. The word love is used too loosely. Loving someone and being in love with someone are two very different things. Although I am not a love master, being only 19 years old and in two serious relationships in my life, I have come to realize being in love is something special. I believe when you are in love it’s not a choice, that person is picked for you. You are addicted to them, you want all your friends and family to love them as much as you do, you are there when they succeed and there when they fail, you miss them every minute you are apart and you unconditionally love them, even when times get hard.
Significant others” is term used in sociology that refers to the important people in one’s life that are close to that person. People who are classified as “significant others” are usually individuals who uplift, motivate, and better the person that they are close with. For me, I am lucky enough to have many significant others involved with my life. First and most obvious, God has always been my “go to” being, because God gives me the motivation and strength that no human being could ever fulfill. God creates crossroads, pathways, and loves me like no other. Anytime I’m unsure about my life and all the wrongful decisions that I make on a day-to-day basis, God has always found a way to bring out the light in the darkest of darkness. My parents
What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Each human being has his/her own thoughts about love to guide himself/herself to land safely and smoothly into the kingdom of Love. Without this preconceived idea of love, people would be acting like a blind person searching for the light with thousand of obstacles in front of him.
I believe in companionship. It’s the feeling that you have someone, and they have you, in any and all pursuits. It’s the idea that you’re stronger with another person, more capable, and more resilient. It’s knowing that you aren’t by yourself in this world. Companionship is true friendship that goes a step beyond; it encompasses ideas of brotherhood and togetherness that the word “friendship” just doesn’t express.
Love happens when you least expect it. It can happen on the street corner, at the bar, at the grocery store, the park. That’s one of the greatest things about love. As for me I found love in the pouring down rain in the middle of the street. I fell in love with a man who I never thought in a million years I’d fall for. A man who is loving, caring and respectful. The night I laid my eyes on him I knew he was it. He came into my life at a point when I was unraveling and losing control. I was lost for two years after my high school sweetheart and I broke up, I thought I was never going to find real love, but I did. He saved me and I remember every minute from that night.
Relationships are intricately complex. Made up of several interactions that are full of verbal and non-verbal communication, a relationship between any two people is completely and utterly unique. There are so many dynamics that are at play in relationships and several opportunities for both good and bad communication. In my life, I have experienced all kinds of people and relationships: friends, acquaintances, brothers, parents, teammates, lab-partners, peers, teachers, mentors. The list goes on and on. Three examples of my personal relationships are my relationship with my brother Caleb, my friend Kennedy, and my high school teacher Mrs. Antwine. In all three relationships, we communicate verbally and non-verbally. However, because of different circumstances, atmospheres, and backgrounds, each relationship differs from the others.
