“He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,” wrote Emily Brontë in ‘Wuthering Heights’. Such is the concept of soulmates — a mate for your soul, the other half of your tangible heart, the piece that you’re missing to complete you. But is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? In a world inhabited by 7.7 billion diverse individuals, what are your chances of finding ‘the one’? Even if you were to find ‘the one’, what are the chances that they’ll stick around and won’t leave you for good? What are the chances that they won’t change?
‘The Symposium’ by Plato says, “According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.” This might sound romantic to some. To me, the idea of a jumbo human with humongous limbs being the origin of me and my partner seems comical enough, to begin with. Now, does it also make sense to keep looking for your ‘mythic other’ in this modern world with a population crossing 7 billion?
