After inadvertently watching Mr. Personality I kinda regret my positive and possibly naive stance on soulmates. The show, hosted by Monica Lewinsky, involves these now 10 remaining men who are competing for this one lady's hand in marriage I suppose, whilst wearing masks in order to hide their looks, and win her affection thru means of sheer personality. I was completely unimpressed with these fellows, who seemed like high school jocks competing just for the thrill of the catch--like the fellas always do (as i have myself).
It didn't really bother me that these men were being men, and chasing after this lady, who believes that the man she should be with is somehow mixed up in this bunch, but what bothered me was that they were spitting all this soulmate game. They all got drunk and then things went overboard with the cheesy one-liners, soulmate mantra, or destiny bit. It was basically like this....."Hi I'm drunk, I think that we are soulmates".

I think that the soulmate myth perpetuates bad decision making, and also enables players to swoon girls. Poor girls. Is it because we as humans always feel the need to find meaning in our lives, and we wish that there was an intended purpose to our state in life? Yes I think so, but I don't disagree that there is meaning in our lives and there is an intended (or can be) purpose in our station in life. But this belief should not cripple you from proactively learning how to choose what's right as opposed to letting fate handle it, right?. People always say that everything happens fer a reason, but yo, it's not fate. Let's see, the tv came on because I hit the power button, thas the reason why.

I think that it is a bad thing to leave our understanding of our lives and purpose to the unknown. ie,"Well, everything happens for a reason, (what exactly that reason is I don't care to find out)". Leaving it out there fer fate to answer could hurt you. If it was a mistake, you might make the same mistake again, and again. But finally, to reconcile the truthfulness of real purpose, sometimes hidden, in our lives I will remind you of the hidden factor which actually does qualify the saying "everything happens for a reason". It is faith. Faith in God, and a commitment to following Him, will lead you down a path of purpose of His design, which you may not presently understand, but is right fer you. But without that faith in God, there are no guarantees.

I'm not backing away from my beliefs on soulmates, I jus don't think that I will publicly admit it again (hehe), or maybe I will jus use a diff word to convey what I believe. Peace I'm out.
