"Soul Mates" are bullshit

Right...

So, you clicked and felt comfortable with this person. THAT is nice and all, but does NOTHING to prove the existence of such a fantasy as "soul mates."

Having a lot of shit in common is one thing, my wife and I have more in common than most of the "soul mate" crowd, but that does nothing to prove the existence of this silly, invented shit.

Because there's no such thing.

I really think the majority of people believe in it like they do "God". It makes them feel better to "believe" it or "feel" it, but they know it's just a fucking man-made invention.

It's sickening, really, that most adults run around acting like little fucking kids and all this imaginary Hollywood horseshit.

When you all know better. And you do.

THIS is EXACTLY why jealousy and shit continues. The invention of "soul mates" and "MY... (girl or boy)".

NO ONE IS PROPERTY. But, our society wants to paint a FALSE PICTURE of what LOVE Is.

My wife and I don't play fucking stupid games. We are separate individuals, with much in common, who share the same belief about LOVE and TRUE HONESTY, not hidden desires never expressed for FEAR of JEALOUSY.

That's not love. That's psychosis.

 

And where's your proof? Please explain this chemical energy.

 

Libertine - you would be a hard person to live with, given your rigid views.

 

I dont know...try explaining it to a person that has really found that love of their life that its just a chemical reaction......maybe it is...but when you are going through it it really does feel like something verry spiritual.

 

No evidence for spirits.

 

Ok..I stand corrected

 

Ehh, I always considered a "Soul Mate" to be someone that you as an individual would have a highest degree of compatibility with, since in this world, there will always be people with which you have varying degrees of compatibility.

Probability of finding this said person: 1 in about 3,000,000,000 (assuming that you have a heterosexual orientation)

So yeah... Spend your whole damn life searching, or settle for someone less than "perfect". The choice is yours.

 

Damn!

That was an interesting take, SilverWolf.

 

OK, me'n' JuJu are soul mates...we were attracted to each other the moment our eyes met, even tho I was with his best friend at the time & neither of us are the type to cheat; the problem was that the energy between us was so strong that everyone around us could feel it. A week or so later we were together & that was 17 years ago. Having a soul mate means that you can communicate just by looking at each other; when you tackle a project together both people interact as a perfect unit; and it means that as you get older you learn & grow together...least that's how it is for us

oh, & after all these years we not only love each other, we are still in love.

 

Haha, thanks.

I do have to agree with you though. The trillions of chemical reactions that take place within a 3 pound blob of cells that make YOU who YOU are and defines the actions that YOU take...
There's just something beautiful about how it all works, each atom functioning so goddamn perfectly.

 

Seriously, do you keep ignoring me or something? Stop being so hypocritical, show your proof.

 

if a soul mate comes along, well i guess that will be cool, but until then, im just looking for a mate.

 

not everything needs proof, some things you simply feel within yourself, somethings simply function on faith alone

 

I agree. I dont currently believe in soulmates, but i am not ruling it out. It could happen, and i am open to it.

i disagree with you. blah blah blah faith.

Somethings cant be proven, so i use my logical mind and take my best guess as to what is right in this world. There is no blind faith involved, simple logical premesis and conclusions. There is no evidence just an educated guess.

 

Soul mates is a straaaaaaaaange thing.

SOmeone mighht be your soulmate , but u might not be theirs.

And I think weve all got more than one- maybe one for a partic moment of time.
Also , things wont always work out even if that person's in synchronicity with u-which might be a better phrase for soul mates.

I was just thinking about this soul mates thing before I read this thread.
Recently I went out with two girls ( not at the same time!).They were funny , nice ,gorgeous etc etc but I honestly felt like we shouldnt be crossing paths.
It was like we were in the same place physically but just like we hadnt connected .

I could never understand living with one person for decades.
But going out with these 2 girls felt almost as alien.
Fuck knows! Its hard to explain but easy to feel.

 

The great thing about life is that it's a Choose You Own Paradigm story.

Because of all my chemicals, I have an imagination, I have instinct, I have a talent and passion for arbitrary symbols. Arbitrary symbols that can trigger chemical reactions in others. Now isn't just easier to say that I'm an inspiring writer?

Is it just the phrase 'soul mate' that's getting your goat because of the word soul and some folks take that more literally than you?

As for Hollywood... I mean come on. Anyone who basis their life's expectations on either Hollywood or pr0n will be naturally selected out 'cause they ain't gonna be getting laid anyways.

I'd also like to note that it is these same chemicals and reactions that drive our infamous human irrationality.

 

Actually, that's not hwo rational thought works. You don't look to disprove any proposed idea, as that makes no sense. You look to PROVE those ideas. BELIEVERS are the ones who are supposed to come with evidence. Have you no understanding of logic and reasoning?

 

Its always interesting to look to the animal kingdom for parallells

and reflections of human existince. Espically to look
toward our closest relatives the primates.

The great example of soul mates in animals is the Canada Goose which mates for life and rears babies together. Always nice to view in springtime.
That Penguin documentary showed some spectacular examples of inter-couple cooperation in rearing that solitary chick on the Antartic ice shelf.
The movie shows couples pairing as essential for the penguin reproduction almost as an economic function.

Interesting how our closest relatives, Chimps and Bonobos have such very diferent social mechanisms. The former Patriarchial the later Matriachal, both communal.

 

What has this thread brought us to? We sound like the freakn' philosophy forum here.

I wants the sexy, hedonistic, fun n' frolic Libertine back in Love and Sex! Debate and nastiness is for those other forums. We gotta have a haven somewhere!

So how about we all just get nekkid and get over it all with a nice big ole sexy party?! 'Cause this thread has made this little guy sad...

 

The huge fan base of The Chicago Cubs is proof of this theory.
