Bad Love
My best friend has found her soul mate. This would normally be a very happy thing, but he is such a toxic mess, they cannot be together. This made me wonder. If you KNOW someone is your soul mate, should you try to make it work, no matter what?
After careful consideration, I have decided, that you ought not to do anything that is detrimental to your spiritual growth and well-being. I think a toxic love affair is more damaging than most situations. You put so much of yourself into it. Everything in your life takes a backseat to the person you love. When that relationship is unhealthy, it infects your entire life. It does not matter if this person is your other half. They will still drag you down.
I believe the purpose of our existence in THIS world is to learn the karmic lessons we need to achieve a higher state of being. Although we have a soul mate, we learn at different paces and sometimes on different paths. Ultimately, we want to be at the same place at the same time and reunite in perfect harmony. This can take a very long time and many lifetimes. Some lives we share and learn from each other. Sometimes it is by being together and others from not being together.
For example, in my friend’s case, she and he would be together and break up. He would always disappear and no one knew how to find him. Each time, after several years, she would run into him again. The last time, she knew she had made a mistake and wished desperately to find him and try again. When she had finally given up, he found her on My Space and contacted her He had moved to Hawaii and upon finding her he moved to Tennessee to peruse her.
