Chapter 265

What was a 'Soulmate'? 

A Soulmate is a person with whom one shares a feeling of deep or natural affinity. This may involve similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility, and trust. 

A Soulmate was the other half of a person's soul. Some religions believed that the soul was naturally divided into two halves when it was born, and only by merging with the destined partner would one become whole again. 

This was one of the factors that led to the creation and sanctity of marriage. 

Many people wished to meet their Soulmates and feel whole again, to feel like life was worth living, a reason to continue their days to the very end. Unfortunately, due to the ever-expanding size of the world and the distance, very few were lucky enough to meet their Soulmates.
