You should probably start by researching the myth of soulmates to better understand where that idea comes from and how it, ultimately, runs counter to human nature and behavior altogether.

➜Summary pliz.

You love to read, right? The genesis of the idea, soulmates, comes from Plato's Dialogue: The Symposium. 🤔

Here's a view(not mine) on the content.

Exploring various perspectives on love, the Symposium is one of Plato’s most acclaimed works. Composed of a series of encomia concerning love, the text is structured as a dialogue, allowing characters to ask each other questions. One of the most influential speeches in this text is that of Aristophanes, who illustrates love through a myth regarding the history of humankind and the origin of soulmates. According to his , humans were originally twice the size of present-day humans and spherical in shape. As punishment for their misbehaviour, Zeus halved each human, dividing one soul between two bodies. As a result, each person yearned for their other half—their soulmate. Aristophanes therefore proposes that love is a “pursuit for wholeness” (Plato 25) and that we seek fulfillment in reuniting with our other half. However, the other outlooks on love considered in the text at large suggest this is an insufficient theory of love. Eryximachus recognizes a difference between good and bad kinds of love. Diotima illustrates why love is not an end in itself, but a means to divine beauty and wisdom. Through these other perspectives on love, the reader is shown that Aristophanes’ speech simplifies love as a mere quest for wholeness. By telling a comic story about human nature, Aristophanes limits love to an exclusive pairing, fails to distinguish good and bad types of love, and disregards what love can lead to.

Portraying love as a quest for wholeness implies humans are lacking and can only become complete upon reuniting with their other half. While the notion of seeking soulmates can be considered beautiful or pleasing, depicting individuals as incomplete is a flawed element in Aristophanes’ theory of love. In fact, a paper discussing how eros relates to this idea of unfulfillment in Symposium, Chien-Ya Sun explains that this sense of lack is attributed to human nature, and states that, in Aristophanes’ myth, “the solution is pointed in one direction—a person” (494). Satiating our need for love exclusively through one person is problematic for two apparent reasons. Firstly, it narrowly defines love as the romantic kind, not ing for other forms of love, such as familial and platonic, which are also greatly valued and should not be overlooked. Secondly, this approach to love is absolute, in the sense that lovers have no other pursuits once they find each other. In his speech, Aristophanes refers to the power of this loving devotion superseding the fundamental survival needs of two lovers: “they would not do anything apart from each other” (Plato 27). Although this may initially appear affectionate, love is depicted as a terminal phenomenon; once acquired, the lovers cannot ameliorate themselves through each other, nor can they cultivate their shared love. Instead, they forfeit everything else, leading to their death. Accordingly, if the solution to the incompleteness lovers experience as individuals is the love found through their other half, and once realized, results in death, humans spend their lives striving for a feeling of fulfillment that is fatal, as it stops them from seeking anything but each other. While Aristophanes employs a myth to illustrate his theory of love, another character in Symposium, Eryximachus, utilizes a metaphor. https://wordpress.viu.ca/comrose/searching-for-soulmates-aristophanes-simplification-of-love-in-platos-symposium/

It was always a flawed concept/notion from its beginning, but people, being mostly ignorant, disregarded this fact and chose to run with it anyway. Fast forward many 1000s of years, and it is even considered a core belief in many religions/traditions, and cultures.

Here's another link https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/eros/platos-other-half

soul mates starts with friendship first




a lot of men are looking to smàsh not to be in the friend zone



to find genuine people hard like f maths because a lot of women have been used and discarded

even men are not left alone in this

For most people, they will go and look for the most attractive person they can find, and hope that he/she is their soulmate and treat them well.

For many, a soulmate is qualified through an emotional basis such as feelings, vibes, beauty, speck, opueh, and so forth

Anyone that has a strong character, high values (in an ethical sense), can lead him/herself, and brings you peace, should be a strong contender for your soulmate.

But watching Nons Miraj dating show has shown that people are too stupid to pick what is good for them, and not having yansh is enough for a man to dump a good woman.

When in reality, you probably left your soulmate on read because he/she didn't give you butterfly.

You also forgot that you are probably average looking at best, and your soulmate is also looking for the most attractive person they can find, keeping everyone single.

If you see the mess of the modern dating scene, you might come to appreciate arrange marriage, because young people just dont have sense.

Okay, so I have a moment to attend to this-

Unfortunately, I am unable to access the link you shared .


But to your opinion or what's contained in the text you shared, it is a most interesting one. I have never come across such a perspective on the subject matter of soulmates before, much less its origin. Then again, I was not exactly, intentionally seeking out pieces that do not encourage my view on soulmates lol. I feel like there's a rational part of my brain that aligns with the excerpt, perfectly. It makes sense. If one objectively think about the idea of soulmates, and what is supposed to happen or not happen before one comes across their soulmate, it is quite restrictive, destructive and gloomy.

And of course, it makes sense that the idea will come from a book written by one of those OG philosophers. There is an article I'm toying with in my head, about love, chivalry and the idea that they are becoming 'lost art' in our generation. But do these concepts truly used to exist in the past or they are fairly recent, fueled by books and entertainment? So apparently Plato, a writer, conjured the ideas of soulmates from his imagination. Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, The Great Gatsby, um the classic story of one Mr. Darcy (I think Jane Austen wrote it, I can't recall), Titanic, The Fault In Our Stars, NONE of these are real life scenarios, but it seems to me like a lot of people have come to think that because some writers were letting their imaginations run wild, like we're fond of doing, they seem to think these stories were a reflection of life in the past for the average couple. Now these stories have been etched in time, they have become a widespread cultural keepsakes and symbols of love, to the extent where they are the ones dictating cultures and norms for us to follow (art creating life; instead of imitating it like it usually is).

Like I cannot understand how a romantic past of heroic, women-worshipping, swashbuckling, damsel-saving men widely existed alongside the subjugation of women, in general society and under the slavery system.

There's also the story of a particular Queen of too, who was treated so harshly and severely because 'she' couldn't provide a male heir. I have read a number of semi-realistic historical books set in ancient Rome, and I while enjoyed the court intrigues and political machinations, I had to overlook a lot of misogynistic practices and attitudes and utterances in them. Only a few intelligent women who rose to the top were spared of being treated like a chattel or intimacy gadget. The ones who were not Cleopatras and Caesars and Marc Anthonys very much had a fate of drudgery.

So when people talk about these lost art and notions of romantic love, I think they are just superimposing ideas from books and movies onto reality, because stories magnifies real life to the size of a thousand, splendid suns (yeah, pun intended lol). You see it happen in a movie, one particular person recreates it, it goes viral and then millions of other people are doing it, and then for the ones who do not have men performing romance for them, they say oh, it's because men are losing recipes, meanwhile there was never any natural recipe to begin with lol. The man whose does no perform romantic rituals is your average natural man.

This is not to say some of these things are not okay to want or a life to aspire to (this is what the idealistic part of my brain clings to), but they are relatively modern concepts amongst us modern men and women. Even Khalil Gibran sef, some of his poems and books helped contribute to the sacred idea people have of love. Solomon is arguably the greatest (love) poet alive, yet he was a randy goat. David too, a wife snatcher and husband-killer.

We can see the reactions to people like Tuface, Yul, Psquare, who all broke their marriages for side chicks, back in the days the men were x10000000000 worse, and who born you well to leave the marriage because you are one independent woman with your money and business? They want a return to the 'ideals' of the past, with the liberal freedom and human rights the present gives lol.

So anyway, I went on this ... to buttress the fact that a number of beliefs we hold about love and the past most likely comes from books. Even quotes and sayings, etc.

If you read this far, thank you.

➜ because a lot of women have been used and discarded, even men are not left alone in this

There are no such things as soulmates, to begin with. That makes this search for these "genuine people" a futile venture.

2. The damage inflicted by life on individuals hits men and women equally— both are equally used and discarded by others. So, harping on the supposed damage is meaningless in itself.

@Magnolia, you really should find time to read the book. It is a very interesting read
