Soulmates: a conundrum that has been plaguing the world since circa 1820 (maybe). So in lieu of recent social network events here is my take on the idea.
I am a believer in soulmates...that being said. I do not believe there is a one person out there for each of us in a romantic sense. As a wise woman said, that is "...absolutely one of the least romantic concepts out there, in addition to being totally statistically impossible." Truth. I believe that each of us is destined to meant one person who a) has a drastic effect on our life b) enables us to have a drastic effect on someone elses life and/or c) when meshed together you both have a dramatic effect on the world (or those in your social circle). For example Steve Jobs and Apple, Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, Stephen King and Richard Matheson....soulmates. Small connections can make a big change even if all you ever see is a small one. Your soulmate may not be the person to spend your life with but it can very well be the teacher who inspires you to be a doctor which leads to you curing cancer. It could be your repugnant father who gave you the motivation for change and set you on your path to becoming the Pope (or a vicious dictator, life doesn't discriminate). Point being, I believe that person is out there for all of us, calling us to exhibit our greatness. I do not believe everyone finds theirs, in fact I believe most people don't. I also believe actually searching this person out completely defeats the purpose. So just live, and if and when you meet the person who challenges you to change the world smile and change it!
