My concept of a soul.

Faces and eyes ,smiles and lies all of them are but hidden in one thing that is your soul. what is a soul? we often say this , do something that makes your soul happy or soul is what makes a human. soul is a energy one possess far from the real world hidden deep inside us .I strongly believe that having a soul is just not a human phenomenon but something that can be found around . The flower beside your foot has as much soul as you do.

As humans we often search for a mate to our souls and term the other person as "soulmate" and carry the whole illusionary world of them and merge it with ours . There is this theory in greek mythology where the humans were born with two heads and four arms and legs , they were loved and powerful ,so to weaken them zeus separated them into half and left them in two corners of the world and were forever in the search of each other. fascinating isn't it? well actually I loved this myth myself but the reality beholds itself in many faces. So according to this we always have been half and never whole. Always in search for '' that'' someone who would come and complete us. As a matter of fact many claim this to be true that might be the case. In my opinion if we seep deep down in our skin , we are full and whole , when we seek our soulmate outside we forget to take a glance inside . Our soul possesses this energy that no other soul can perceive maybe that's what makes us a different human and a soul of different kind. Our energy radiates on our faces and the essence sweetly flow around with the air. We try to find the same essence as ours with the same light and breathlessly search for it , so that our urge to feel whole can be met. we loose ourselves and keep looking out of the window of hope . Yes we forget that we have a soul too. A soul made up of so much beauty longing for another one?

But what if , we were always seeking wrong thing all along? I believe two souls can never be made of the same dust and our soulmate is not the other person but its us in different dimension . Our soul mate is the one in the past and in the future and most importantly the one in the present .

To be able to find the mate to our soul first we need to believe that we are already whole. The essence we have cannot be found in some other person ,it needs to be search within. Cause its often appears in the roots what isn't found in the branches. Seldom we look in our own eyes and forget to notice the spark we search in others. Its high time we stop looking at ourselves as halves . Go out in search of you and what is meant to be will come right by its time . We need to be ours before we can be anyone esle's .

Cause at last we are , our own soulmate.
