From what I have seen of love and from what I know to be true of love, I have a hard time believing in the idea of "soulmates". For me, the idea of soulmates invokes this fantastical notiom of love only found in romance novels and movie, and believe it or not, real life is rarely reflected in these sorts of media. This may be the reason why people, mostly women, love these kinds of romatic tales. They portray this alternate reality where everyone has a soulmate and love is eternal.
So as mentioned above, the idea of soulmates, in my opinion, is ludicrious. That does not mean however that I do not believe in love or the concept of strong lasting relationships. I just do not think that two people can be destined for one another. Two people can certainly be compatable and live their lives together, but that is not to say that there could be other people who could do the same. I believe with enough time and compassion, any two people can grow to love one another; love is not fated.
Q: Is is possible to love someone but to not be in love with them?
