The Soul Mate Theory
“Love is putting a piece of soul into
someone else’s care,
and being responsible for an equal share of theirs.” – P S
Berg
The phrase “soul mate” originated in Greek
mythology and came about because Zeus, fearing human interference regarding the
authority of the Gods, decided to split the human soul into two parts, in the
belief that we would be better occupied looking for our other half, and many
people have spent a lifetime doing just this.
Fact or fiction, we all have our own
perception of what a soul mate should be, however for some, the romantic
fantasy created in the mind makes it impossible for any mere mortal to live up
to the extremely high expectations they may have. As a result, all too often
that special person is turned away without the realisation that they are made special
because of their faults, warts and all.
We all have our own personal preference and
an image in our mind of what that special someone should be and look like. We
do tend to be attracted to those people who mirror ourselves, and it is
believed that we were this person in another life, however, what our soul needs
is not necessarily what our head wants, and the power of attraction is very
strong. If we could look a little further than the front cover, try considering
the following:
- Does this person inspire you to improve and grow?
- Do you find comfort in their presence and an aching in their absence?
- Do they treat you with the respect you deserve?
- Do they value your opinions?
- Do they love you unconditionally?
- Do they foster in you a sense of worth?
- Do they protect you and hold your hand through the good and bad times?
- Do they make you laugh?
