Soulmates?

One night, my friends and I had a long discussion about soul mates. My take was, you could have a soul mate and that would not necessarily be the one you should end up with. For me, a soul mate is someone that you have been connected with, are connected with, and will be connected with throughout your karmic cycles. The connection you feel is unexplainable, you just know that you are. It may be how you understand each other, how you can read each others minds, how you completely get each other, no matter how different you both are. You feel like you have known each other forever. For each life cycle, he/she is the constant, in different forms. I/m not sure what the purpose of this soul mate is, but personally, I think, everyone is given a soul mate for companionship – so that you are accompanied every time you are born into a life cycle.

My friend asked, “So are you saying that you could be in-love and married with someone and have a different soul mate?” My answer is yes.

That is why I believe that the person you should marry is the person you could not live without, in this life. A person you know you need and who needs you. A person you know will care for you and you would want to take care of. A person you CHOOSE to be a part of. A soul mate is just there for the connection, automatically, by way of default. You do not choose it. They are just there. You may not care for that person, or he/she may not care at all for you as well, but the connection will always be there.

What do you think?
