Welcome to the Friday rubric! Today's topic is: Do YOU believe in soul mates?
So, like we did before we shall choose a volunteer to tell us what they think. Picking a name out of the jar and the victim, no I mean volunteer is: Nussbaum! Oh, whoops wrong poll, I mean myself for the third time running! Isn't that a coincidence, Ladies, Gentlemen and annoying random people? Here goes:

The answer is yes and no, like for so many other questions. Here comes the elaboration. What do you mean ''couldn't you have left it at that?''?!

Yes: reasons and explanation(s):

Yes, I do believe that there can be a ''right'' person for everyone, however I do not believe that there is only ONE. There can be several and that undermines the whole idea of it being ''soul'' as in one. I also think that this has nothing whatsoever to do with (romantic/sexual) love and everything with ''having a connection''. Your soul mate can be your best friend, family, sibling, lover or someone of the same gender as you. It is someone you can always talk to and you never run out of discussion topics. You spend hours just speaking, arguing and just enjoying it. That person has the same way of thinking as you or at least similar. It is not necessarily mutual, as with so many other things. Since there are not 6 Billion type of people and they can be grouped into Nice, Rich, Good-looking, etc... There are bound to be several ''right people'' for you, so I'd say there might be a ''Soul Mate Group'' you can ''dish out'' of.

No:
reasons and explanation(s):

Well, I'm sort of sceptical of the idea of ''true love'' and everything that falls into that category. In fact, never mind true, I don't know whether LOVE exists. I mean it does, but can it last? That's my question, but we discussed that in last week's rubric. Didn't come to any conclusions though. I think that some people (AKA me) are condemned to walk this world alone (probably self-inflicted, because of character problems or isolation). I mean I frankly can't think of anyone wanting to marry someone like what Scrooge became or Herman or Hitler. I also don't believe that there is ONE ideal match for you. I mean even if there were, what would happen if it were some Aborigine from Australia, how the heck would you find that person without fate? Also I don’t believe the whole Chinese ''two people were split like a cracker'' theory.

Can't be bothered to continue with this rubric so here's the conclusion:
Believe there are several soul mates, but not necessarily in the romantic sence. Could be your best friend, rather than your husband. Doesn't have to be mutual. Having said that, my soul mate is the blog!!! No just kidding, well you know who mine are, don't ya Raspy? You should too Rhubi, it all depends on whether you read the ''Yep you must'' word doc or not.

Now, what are you're views? OK, Somebody, Anybody, even random (apart from those stupid ''Download Mozilla here'' dunces) COMMENT!
