The one
A friend of mine, Simon*, and I were talking about relationships the other day. He asked me if I believed that there is "a one" for everyone, like we hear about in the movies, tv, music, etc. I had to think about this one for a while. (I don't want to get in to all the religious/spiritual explanations). Is there really one person that each individual is destined to find and spend their life with? It's a rather crazy concept. Simon said that he thought such an idea did not exist and was not plausible. Though I do not entirely believe this idea, it's hard to wrap your mind around, I think that there are very few people that really match up with you perfectly. I also have heard of people dating around and not settling for happiness once they find it because they want to know if there is someone better (or a better match) for them out there. This goes back to the saying that there are "more fish in the sea." I don't really agree with this totally because it's not like any random person will match up with someone. I guess, in this conversation, we were just musing about this subject, never really coming to a solid conclusion.

I agree with what Simon says (lol) but I also think that some people are better than others. I might not think it's reasonable for people to date around to find someone perfect for them, but it's also unreasonable to "settle" for someone on the basis of a few minor commonalities. Too many people live many years or a lifetime of an unsatisfying relationship. Bottom line: there is no single "one" but there is such thing as the wrong "one", so be wary.
ReplyDeleteThis Simon guy seems to be on the right track.
