The ‘One True Love’ Myth.

       Hypothetically we all do invest our believes in this myth, in one way or another. Some portion of us may deny it but we all do want the one and only, true love. Or don’t we?

        What can we say about this never-ending quest of human race?  Some say it’s only true when the feelings are undeniably strong and god knows why does it normally shows up when you least expected it. Lets stroll down this alley of hopeful emotions and doubtful minds. In general perspective, we human long for companion. In fact, we should have companion. It’s human nature. With companion comes commitment and commitment has always be the main reason why relationship fails. Are we too occupied with material things that we forget what comes before of all those? I think we all can agree that sometimes, things get caught up and it is up to us to act against it or be frivolous with it.

        ‘Soul mate’ is a term that has been overused by many of us, if you can tell.  Consider yourself as a young lady or a young boy who just turned thirteen and life is on track, nothing seems to fickle your life plot. Just when you taught you’re good, then come one person unannounced, flipping your life 360 degrees from what it used to be and you call the person your 'soul mate'.Why? because you believe that he/she was destined to be with you. I'm sorry to bother, but who are you? Better still, but what if it all seems too good to be true. What happens if that person decided to burn the bridge? What are you left with? And what do you do with it? One point in your life you’d say “he used to be my soul mate now we’re bounded by a Berlin wall” and at that point you are filling your hearts with sympathetically-induced words of wisdom to lift up your internal strength and help you to elevates your declining confidence level.

            Nevertheless, I completely agree with being optimistic in life. Occasionally, we should weave in some reality so when it strikes, you still can pull your socks up and let your hair down. You got to have some spaces to allow something substantial to fill in, right?  I ponder, how this cliché myth seems to work its magic every time regardless of how it ends up. We always fall right into it. Always, I may say. Hollywood movies is one of the infamous love-pastor-slash-rabbi ever, period. They spread love like I spread Nutella on my toast and Women, especially, believes in it. Men, however, tend not to give in too much as women do. Maybe its their ‘defensive mechanism’ that blot their mind that allow them to feel vulnerable or their selfish-ness might have been too pronounced.

           To sum it all, it will come back to a full circle. God is kind,  He knows what is he doing with all of his slaves, we just have to trust his greatest will.  The rest is for us to search and experience. Fret not my friend. Life is a two way street, you dwell and give thanks at the same time. Exactly, we’re human.
