The concept of soulmates is one of the oldest dilemmas in human history. Just think of the myth of the androgynous beings told by Plato, beings that were hermaphrodites with two heads, four arms, and four legs, who became too insolent towards the gods and were punished by Zeus, who split them in two with a lightning bolt, and since then every man seeks his female counterpart, and vice versa. This myth has reached us with the metaphor of the two halves of the apple, but the concept remains the same: is there really a half of us out there, just waiting to reunite with us? And if instead, we are already in a relationship, how do we know if the person by our side is truly our soulmate? In these lines, we will try to answer this ancient dilemma.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very few people find their soulmate at the first attempt, meaning in their first real relationship. For most of us, it is instead a long and tortuous journey, and often on the way, we encounter relationships that for one reason or another end up sinking. How many times, thinking about the past, do we wonder: how did I manage to be with that\u2026 (insert your preferred epitaph)? When we ask ourselves this question, it’s because the previous relationship started with the best of intentions, only to turn into a disappointment. In reality, all these negative experiences shape us and show us that often the ideas we have about the concept of soulmate are completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example: the soulmate is not someone who cultivates the same interests as us or shares the same opinions; quite the opposite: the more a person is different from us in their way of being and thinking, the greater the (albeit unconscious) attraction they exert;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the same false line as the previous statement, the soulmate is almost always very different from how we imagined them: they surprise us and constantly catch us off guard, but they have the “power” to improve our lives without us even noticing it;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, another false myth to dispel: the soulmate is not necessarily a shoulder to cry on; they don’t have to necessarily indulge our weaknesses but should instead push us to react and do better, even with rough methods, if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another ancient question is about the “right person.” From a purely mathematical point of view, in a world populated by almost 8 billion people, thinking that there is only one person waiting for us is a bit sad upon reflection. With this premise, the chances that every single person on Earth finds their perfect soulmate are practically zero: maybe my significant other lives in the Argentine Patagonia, a place I will probably never get to see in my entire life, and maybe I never even thought of going there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reality, the theory of the single soulmate over time has given way to that of kindred spirits, according to which throughout life, we can meet different people who are still meant to be together with us, not necessarily only as a couple concept. For example, even among friends, there are kindred spirits, people for whom we have no physical attraction but who are still important in our journey. If you’re a fan of Sex and The City, you’ll recall when Charlotte, addressing the others, stated that perhaps they were each other’s soulmates, so the concept of kindred spirits has been endorsed even through one of the most famous TV series in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if you’re wondering if the right person exists, know that not only do they exist, but there are so many who are just waiting to meet you. Any day and anywhere can be the perfect moment when two kindred souls recognize each other and fall in love. However, when faced with the soulmate, how do you recognize them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
