"There’s an old story in Chinese folklore about a magical connection between two people that are destined to be soul mates, called ‘the red string of fate’. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time,

 place, or circumstance. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmates." - Via Lessons Learned In Life

Now, mostly I think that this is a fabricated myth out of love and joy, yes it is beautiful to silence the mind and think there is someone with whom everything will be perfect, when life will reach it's highest orgasmic state, but isn't that kind of limiting it? the way we are closed mindedly educated by the society has turned relationships in to a vicious circle of domination, need and interest for self pleasure, never caring about any kind of change or evolution once the two subjects get used to each other. It was once said that ignorance is bliss and most of you will never read this because of that, that's the coolest part... ;)
