After remembering why I love Plato and his view on soul mates, it’s got me thinking.

   For those of you that don’t know Plato believed that humans were born with 4 arms, 4 legs, and two faces. But Zeus was so intimidated by these creates that he split them so they would spend their entire life searching for their other half.

   Lori and I believe that their can be two possibilities. Either that the the humans were split into equal halves, or their two opposite personalities were split, the latter being the more favored. Which is what actually got me thinking.

   I want to be married before I start a career, meaning that I would have to either have met my soul mate, or met him in college.

   I’ve met my complete equal. Minus the fact that he’s 19 and lives somewhere else, we have almost everything in common. We like the same movies, we listen to the same music, our families know each other, we get along, texting is a little difficult on his side, but that’s about it. But I’m not attracted to him, at all. I grew up with him, he knows all my “little kid” secrets, but I can’t see him in any way like that. I mean I thought I did at one point but then realized who he was and could never do such a thing. Blah.

   But does that mean that I’m still looking for my opposite, or I haven’t realized that I’ve found my equal.

   But does that mean that because he is still in love with his ex that he hasn’t realized yet that he has found his equal, or that she hasn’t realized that she’s found her opposite.

   If we are suppose to spend out lives searching how do we know when we found them. How do we know that this one is our soul mate, and the next one isn’t.

  We’re told that when we know love when we find it. But love doesn’t mean soul mates. Will we know soul mates when we find them. But how do we know if we should be searching for our opposite or are equal.

   Will we know when we fall in love with our opposite, or when we fall in love with our equal. But how do we know that our equal isn’t someone elses’ opposite, or our opposite isn’t someone elses’ equal.

  Love is a tricky game, and I just wish I could solve it.

   I’m so scared of commitment, yet I want love. I want to fall in love and be in love right now.

   The movies have tricked me to believe that it is so simple to find love. I want to be in love but I don’t know if I should be looking at the equal I have already found, or the opposite I have yet to find.
