Soulmates

[Bob Kelso]

No I don't believe in soulmates. Not because I don't believe in souls either, I don't but that's not the point. There are billions of others in the world, to think that there is one other (or several others if you function under the 'multiple soulmates' idea) that's meant just for you is ridiculous.

It's borderline destiny thinking, which is just as bad as theism.

If used as a romantic thought, then that's acceptable. Thinking soulmates exist in reality is irrational and narcissistic.

Your call, though I think that a certain amount of fatalism in certain subjects can allow you to focus on other subjects that you might find more meaningful.

What if you think of a soul mate as being the best possible match out of the available possibilities?

That's what I meant as romantic thought, I probably should have included it in it's own sentence but I got distracted.
