V:
Who is a soulmate? It is simply what the word means literally! A soulmate is the mate of the soul. We enter in this world helpless, without a clue, and any person who makes this inevitable journey slightly better, more enjoyableshould be called a soulmate! The mother who gives us birth is our fist mate and every person having a positive influence on our life becomes a mate thereafter!
Along its long course, life makes brings people together just like two floating logs meet each other. Much out of our control, we meet people, interact with them and separate later. SOme bonds stay until one or both of the people leave this world, some are comparatively short-lived.
Although meeting someone in life in not in our powers, we have control over how we behave with them once we do come in contact. People come in all colors and shapes and have multiple personalities. We do not always agree with each one of them. And differences are common as well!
But why cant we spread good will and love to those who come in contact with us? We should be like the flower, which gives smell to even the person who tries to smash it. Look at the tree, which gives shade to anyone, irrespective of who it is. Look at the river, which quenches hunger of one and all. We need to learn from nature, which spreads love and harmony no matter who the recepient is!

Most people think of a soulmate as a love-mate, a single life partner. "Finding a suolmate" is an ambition, often romantic, for many! But why should you find something which is right infront of you! Life, by itself, bring so many sufferring people infront of us! WHy cant you become a soulmate of all of them? Give inconditional love, complete support, become the tree which give shade even to the person who comes with an axe to uproot it!

Why should one restrict oneself with a single soulmate? EVery soul in the world should become a mate! 'Love thy neighbour' is the message! Spread the message of love, it is not about expectations from someone! It is about sacrifice. If you are successful, you become a Jesus or a Buddha, if not you vanish in the same! That universal giving is true love, true acceptance! We need to each practise exactly that!

V2: So you are saying that the soulmate is the bieng/s who touches the soul.
yes the world can become the soulmate, but many of us prefer to be deceived by the heart which insists that there is just one. We still have the burden of 'I' and we want that person that this 'I' can exist in harmony with.
two souls, two hearts, two minds synchronized. yes sometimes we feel the pulse of the world in tune with ours. but the heart will deceive, and some will look forever probably chasing after an illusion or myth created by the heart but still we look.

And then what if there is a soulmate for every being? Not necessarily an opposite but someone who will complement us like , day/night, light/dark, fire/water, sun/moon the world exists on the fulcrum, with the balance of these.
What if you do not believe that there is one being for you. A soulmate, I believe is that soul that has been travelling with you since the existence of time and will continue to travel, and one will eventually find this constant companion or at least recognise them. maybe it is not a romantic notion, but simply a life partner, a being who exists in your life for just a short moment but the imapact they have on your life lasts forever. It does not matter if they stay a day or forever but the heart keeps them there forever.

and V, what if someone is searching for that one person, then doesn't everyone become a potentail soulamte so we would show kindness to all?
