The Value Of A Soulmate

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for these people who rekindle the inner spirit. So says Albert Schweitzer.

I am saying this from the depths of my heart. I have known loneliness, I have felt emptiness. It has happened to me in my highest and lowest moments. I look to fine someone, only to see no one. It just like Robinson Crusoe reincarnated, but this time in midst of smiling creatures and chattering mouths. Lots of automatic "good days'' and ''hi's''. More like tantrums loosing free from the tongue, unattached to real feelings and meaning.

YOU NEED SOMEONE, not you, someone else; we all do. The easiest way to madness is monotonous loneliness. The first stage of madness is an inner realisation of separation from the world. Where everyone seems a mile away from your inner convictions or worse still your longtime evaluation of your person. Madness begins. This is even worse when in this condition, you deny the feeling, or should I say a time-bomb waiting to explode in your lonesome moments. A truth remains there is a void in our hearts for that someone else.

A wife, husband, friend, lover.....? None of them, this is a kind of solemn relationship with another. A mutual marriage of the whole faculties of both parties alone. Where both drop all inordinate attachment to self and any single inclination, safe the sustenance of the relationship. To them nothing else matters.

I think finding this one is the deepest wish of every feeling one. To those searching, the object of your search is real, keep at it. Those that possess this gift of the unique union of hearts, lose it for nothing else, value it and treasure it with your life.
