As we search for our soulmates, it’s important to remember that love is finite and fragile. That doesn’t mean it’s any less beautiful, but it does mean that we should be aware of the expectations we place on our partners. The classic soulmate imagery of Plato, Dante, and others is a reminder of the deep longing we have for someone to make us whole, but it also serves as a warning that our expectations may be too high.
Love is a powerful emotion that can unite us with other humans, creatures, rocks, and trees. It can bring us joy and wisdom, but it can also bring pain and loss. We should cherish the time we have with our soulmates, but also be aware that our love will not last forever.
