The Book of Destiny
I saw this quote from Dedo from last year on another blog, and it struck a chord with me."What would happen if you had a glance in to the book of destiny and found out that your Mr.Right.or soulmate lives 12.000 miles away,is a garbageman and has 9 kids ..."
Notwithstanding the 9 kids , what would we do?
If we were told our soulmate , our One, whatever you want to call them, lived across the globe, would we take that leap? Make that move?
Or would we find excuses not to?
Using our work, our family, our lives, our health, our not liking flying, lack of resources, (add your own excuse here) to not go.
How far will we go, both physically and emotionally, for love?
Or maybe it isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.

I meant you as in all’ya’all, not ya’all or you particularly.
Sometimes we also even forget that it is wood (no pun intended) we are even looking for
I meant, sometimes we lose sight of what we were even looking for in the first place
You said this, MB. Your moniker and my name have the same initials. I believe this as well, but my appreciate for my friend didn’t reach the ?? forest level pun your referred to. That made me wonder if I should have clarified that my friend and I have a plutonic relationship. Collins dictionary includes a definition for soulmate so I agree that a friendship can have a deep and personal understanding . . .
“countable noun
A soulmate is someone with whom you share a close friendship and deep personal understanding.”
That might be a soulmate for lack of a better word.
Can a certain number of the “innumerable “ people exist in all’ya’alls life at the same time with different genders and levels of intimacy?
In my language, we have "TAKDIR" and "NASIB". We cannot change or choose our takdir, like cannot choose our skin color or when we're born. We can change or make our nasib, like making a living.
@Wen
For others, it would be Tikdar
But I believe we have control over a lot in our lives. We cannot control when and where we were born, but within reason we can control how we live and the choices we make.
Anybody with it is more likely to find someone
So finding that line of personal space can be a fine line to me.
With this in mind, regardless of current circumstances eventually what is written will come to pass, as the book of destiny has no time frame or indicated dates, to this end, the lives of soulmates eventually combine.
I had a situation whereby I had a relationship with a previous girlfriend 32 years after we initially split.
It would make life much easier if we could get a sneak preview of the book
life is still one day at the time, even if some people don`t understand the meaning of this saying...
If Destiny means Nasib in my language, then what is Takdir in English?
I need that so I wouldn't mix the two words up.

And Death said I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I have an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
I thought about this and of course , his occupation didn't bother me...the breeding did. :)
Taking your idea seriously though... hmmm... I am going to say no. There was a time in my life that I would have done so, but that time for me has passed.
But that's literally the other side of town. :)
On the other side of the world I have met some rather amazing people over time...but Australia is home for me... so I would not , at this point in my life, move away.
Nothing is outside of our capabilities if we believe in it.
