According to Cosmopolitan, 73% of Pinays believe in soulmate.
What does soulmate actually means? When I was younger, I used to believe in such and even mistaken infatuation with soulmate. Eventually, I had convinced myself that there is no such thing. What I do believe is first love and true love.
There are theories on how soulmate begun, and one famous example is the Symposium of Plato. According to it, during Zeus’ time, humans were originally combined with four sets of arms and legs , and with one head only. Because of fear that they may dominate his power, Zeus split them all in half, thus condemning them of searching for their other half for the rest of their lives. I find this ridiculous of course.
