SOULMATE... An 'overused' phrase in internet dating: "Looking for my soulmate" Yes, how true is that? I looked it up in the dictionary. Soulmate (or soul mate) refers to a person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, life energy, philosophy, and personality. I perceive this as spiritual or non-sexual in nature. However, it also defines that soulmates often have a romantic bond. No dispute here. Loving your soulmate is perhaps the best of both worlds. I often use a Chinese/English translator and I find it lacking in the finite definitions we use in English. Soulmate and lover both translate to lover in Chinese. Hopefully, they know the difference. Not to change the subject of my blog, many English words get lost in the translation. Maybe, it's the limit of the software and not the language. For example, gate and door have the same word/meaning. Boil and cook have the same meaning. Actually, I found this out when I was introduced to Szechuan style cooking... everything is boiled. I think the only other option is fried. Grilled and sauteed has no equivalent to my translation software. Back to soulmates and women. It would appear women are more interested in finding a soulmate than a lover. I think guys are different... very different. When given the choice of a lover or a (non-sexual) soulmate, they would take the lover every time. Hmmm... difficult choice. Thanks for reading my blog! |

Soulmate... some believe that a person with all the qualities you desire can be found, while others believe a soulmate must be developed. "They started off as friends and many years later learned to be soulmates"
