Today we are doing one more quick chat episode and I'm going to read them a question and then they are going to share their opinions with me. And the question is, do you believe in soul mates?00:01:10JackThat there is one perfect person for everyone out there.00:01:17JackA soul mate. Just one perfect person for everyone out.00:01:22JackThere in the in the world.00:01:28MayOhh this.00:01:31JackI saved the. I saved the hard.00:01:32JackOne for for last today.00:01:34MayThis is so challenging for me.00:01:37MayWhen mentioning about Sonic I I should say that our.00:01:48MayDestiny, our or our love life has been.00:01:53MayWritten in in the destiny, like who will be our partner? Who be our family and so on. So in for that reasons I believe yes, so does exist.00:02:12MayThe only thing is.00:02:14MayWhen or how is how how will it?00:02:17MayBe that is unsure.00:02:21MayAnd will determined by time I guess.00:02:24JackRight. Because what? What if you what if you don't meet your soul mates?00:02:30JackWhat if you what if you almost meet your soul mate like your soul mate leaves the restaurant 5 minutes before you enter the restaurant?00:02:40JackOr something.00:02:40MaySo we must.00:02:43MayTake it as it has been written.00:02:47MayOur creators have.00:02:49MayHas decided something else for us, probably.00:02:54JackOK, so this is may may this, the spiritualist may the May the philosopher may the theologian. Yeah.00:03:02MayIt's not that.00:03:13MayWe cannot first go. I want to give.00:03:15MayIt the person.00:03:17MayI want to we we spend my whole entire.00:03:20MayLife with that person.00:03:23MayYes, we can plan, but in the end it's still on the creator's hand whether they they want us to be together or not.00:03:34JackOK.00:03:37JackWell said, well said. I mean, I think you're right. I I I think a lot of people would agree with you. Let's let's jump over to Layla. Layla, what do you think?00:03:49LaylaNo, I don't believe in soulmate.00:03:53LaylaI don't know. I think maybe I we can meet a lot of good people and they understand us and not only one person should.00:04:06LaylaBe the perfect for us. Our for example, for me, I think.00:04:12LaylaIt depends on many, many reasons. Many events, series of events maybe happens.00:04:21LaylaAnd eventually it shouldn't be only one person. I don't know how to explain that, but I don't.00:04:30LaylaBelieve it, I.00:04:30LaylaDon't believe that it's only one soul mate.00:04:34LaylaMaybe it could be a lot of people.00:04:37JackIt could be a lot.00:04:37JackOf it, it could be it could be in several people in, in your neighborhood, or yeah, it.00:04:44JackCould be so.00:04:47JackYeah, you're you're what you're saying is you're come, you know, we're compatible with lots of different people.00:04:53JackWe have compatibility with lots of different different people. OK, alright, alright, so me is going Mays kind of taking a spiritual approach with the it's up to the the Creator, the overseer.00:04:58LaylaIt's yeah.00:05:13MayI mean, I mean to say yes, many people can understand us. Many people can.00:05:21MayTalk to us, be with us. But only one person will be with with us for.00:05:28MayThe rest of.00:05:29MayLike that was what I wanted to find out.00:05:34MayBecause the people who understand us, they might because from time to time.00:05:43JackBut do you think that person is there's only one person that can be with you for the rest of your life, though, is that is there.00:05:49JackOne soul mate.00:05:52MayProbably it will only be one.00:05:55JackOK, alright, alright.00:05:58JackInteresting. So Leila saying multiple compatible partners that that are it's possible and may saying there's one soul mate Hendrick, you're the tiebreaker.00:06:12JackWhat do you think?00:06:15HendrickIt's interesting for me, I believe in soulmates, and I mean, like, yeah, you can have, you know, like a lot of good people that you have in your life.00:06:25HendrickI mean, like, at least for the loss. You, you also need, you know, like the soul mate, which is you can spend your time together and Share your story together because, yeah.00:06:36HendrickI mean, like you, you are human. I mean, if you cannot, you know, like live alone. And you also need, you know, like partners to Share your story together. At least I think that soulmate is like the the right choice for you. Yeah.00:06:52JackOK.00:06:53JackWow, now I'm.00:06:54JackIn a dangerous but I gotta be really careful with.00:06:56JackMy words here.00:06:57JackI'm the the the only married married one here. So this is this is like walking on land mines, right?00:07:07JackI got to be careful.00:07:10JackOK, I'm gonna say.00:07:12JackI I'm gonna. I'm gonna.00:07:14JackSay the idea of soul mates is something that.00:07:19JackPeople who are together for a long time.00:07:22JackThey say this is my soul mate.00:07:25JackBut they're, but I think what they're thinking is they're thinking backwards, right? They're they met the right person. They built something together because that's the thing. That's the thing about marriage is that when you first get together, you have, there's a lot of you have to do a lot of work because you're you're, you're very you're you're still not.00:07:45JackUsed to living together, you're different.00:07:48JackAnd you grow together as time goes by. And so I think after 20 years, you a lot of people say ohh, this is my soul mate. We were. It's destiny that we were together, but I think it's possible that we're compatible with lots of different people and that you when you meet someone that you're very compatible with.00:08:10JackAnd then you get married, you you become soul mates, but it's not destiny that brought you together. It's something that you built together. So.00:08:22JackSo so I I might I'm changing the definition of soul mates. You know, my wife is my soul mate because we built something together that's very strong and beautiful. But to say that it was like magic that we were supposed to meet and it was destiny and fate. I don't really believe in Destiny and.00:08:43JackDebate. I think it was.00:08:44JackI believe more in coincidence and chance.00:08:47JackAnd that so yeah, I may have. I OK, I may have just dug a hole for myself here. I hope I'm not in trouble. Alright. What do you guys think? Does it sound terrible or does it? Does it make sense?00:08:48MayWow. Testing.00:09:04HendrickIt makes sense.00:09:06HendrickIt makes sense.00:09:06MayBecause you are married. So yeah, you have.00:09:09JackOK, OK. I just I can only see it.00:09:12HendrickI think you have a lot of experience.00:09:16JackWell, here's the thing. Here's here's here's another reason. OK, I've been married almost 20 years. OK, which is a long time. Happily married. And my wife and I get along really well. We're best friends. She's well, she's like my only friend. Really. Except for my online friends.00:09:32JackYou know, she's the only person.00:09:34JackHang out with. I've known a lot of people who, you know, we're we're boyfriend and girlfriend or just married and they talk about we're soul mates. We're meant to be together now they're divorced.00:09:48JackYou know what I mean? So I I never talk like that, but my wife and I just kind of keep our mouth shut and we just work hard on our marriage. Keeping it, you know, working together, working hard on the marriage, the relationship to make sure that our relationship is good over the long term. That's a little bit different than soul mates and destiny and.00:10:09JackFate, right, dusty and fate is kind of like.00:10:12JackI'm gonna walk across the street and hopefully no car is going to hit me. And if a car hits me, that was fate. You know? Destiny. I I don't believe in that. You know, I think that's silly. I think you know, working at a marriage, working hard, continuing to cultivate the relationship and.00:10:34JackAnd talk to one another.00:10:36JackIs really important, otherwise your relationship can can fall apart. So I think even even friends of mine who's who thought ohh she's my soul mate. He's my soul mate and now they're divorced. They didn't put in the work and they weren't willing to make the sacrifices. So yeah.00:10:53HendrickYeah, I think.00:10:56HendrickI think they they're, you know, like they're difference because they don't understand each other. Because I think if you are soul mates, I mean you have to understand each other and I mean like your your relationship will be.00:11:06MayLonger, but the best solution, the best solution I can say.00:11:08JackYeah, well.00:11:14MayWill be do not mention called little people. She's my soulmate. She she's my best ever. Things like that. So we just live together happily.00:11:27MayGo, go together, learn. Learn about each other. Learn on each other's behavior.00:11:33MayAnd then we will make it so do not.00:11:37MayLike show our.00:11:39MayHappiness openly here and there so.00:11:43MayWe just live happily.00:11:45JackYes, I agree with you.00:11:46MayWe have be so proud, yeah.00:11:48JackYeah. The more people talk about it, the more they.00:11:50JackTell you she's my soul mate. She's my soul mate.00:11:52JackShe's my soul mate, the more I.00:11:54JackI the less.00:11:55JackI believe them. I'm like, no, she's not. No.00:11:56MayYou don't have to.00:11:57JackShe's not. No, she's not. Yeah.00:11:59MayYou don't have to mention you.00:12:01MayYou have to mention just.00:12:02MayLeave you leave a like.00:12:04MayWith your partner or your husband or your wife.
