-The action of making happy discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of some thing not initially in quest of.
this morning was cold. perhaps colder than it should have been. i went home in the early morning like usual, cooked my food, drank my tea like a good boy and proceeded to bed, waiting. perhaps boredom got the best of me so i turned on my tv watched a few movies. serendipity was on starz, i watched it thinking i liked the movie before. it was compelling and very enjoyable (for me, since im a hopeless romantic; or so i would like to think) to say the least. to think that there might be a treasure beneath a pile of rubble or to think that your fate maybe intertwined with someone is quite a sight to think of.
while i was watching the last part of the movie, it made me think of things. things like, "i wonder if youve watched this movie at the same time as i did?" "or did u happen tot hink of the same thoughts im thinking right now?" or "are you thinking of me as im thinking of you?" kinda things..u know..cheesy stuff. but wouldnt be nice to know that somewhere out there, maybe the love of your life is secretly intertwined with you, maybe you touched the same thing that he or she touched or you have bumped to each other long before you knew each other? or maybe did the same things met the same people or have seen or talked to the same group without you or him/her realizing it? hmmm such a strange phenomenon right? but we will never know for sure since not all things can be revealed, what may seem like a coincidence might just be a string fromt he tapestry woven by fate, but then again i do believe that fate only gives us the chances and the oppurtunities, and we alone weave it, fate jut guides us. so maybe these string of mere coincidences in our point of views might be the chances and oppurtunities that fate has given us? wouldnt that be a good thought to ponder? maybe maybe.
ill share u one of the quotes from the movie
it is dean's supposed-best-man-speech that he gave jonathan right near the end of the movie
"Dean: Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny."
A soulmate, would you like to have one? someone that is made for u, someone that fits you perfectly and someone that is just right for you in every way. i bet a hopeless romantic would absolutely love the fact that someone is meant to be your destiny, pessimists could say otherwise. ive been reading the twilight saga (dont judge me, ;p) and ive happen to come across a word used by the quilettes to described the person fated for you,called IMPRINTING in numerous(yet fictional) instances were the wolf pack imprinted with someone, for example; sam on emily where they were just drawn with each other, wouldnt you like to believe that would happen to you, even if ur not part of the so called tribe? LOL. im not sure i want to be like that myself but just the thought and the mere pigment of hope that maybe someone DOES belong to me, quite fascinates me.
oddly enough i googled the word "imprinting" and found this:
"Imprinting occurs when a shapeshifter finds their soul mate. The moment the shapeshifter sees the one they are destined to be with, they imprint. It is described as having every connection with everything else severed and instead being only connected to this earth for the other person. After that, nobody else matters because you are only there for your other half, your soul mate."
and of course being this definition is entirely based on a fictional novel i tried to have a basis for it scientifically and it is not all the while "make belief" after all for imprinting is a animal characteristic where in a young animal ( most likely a bird?) focuses his attention on an object and thus a bond is formed. heres what i found:
"in psychobiology, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience and thereafter follows that object.
it is well known that under certain conditions, newly hatched goslings and ducklings will follow and become socially bonded to the first moving object they encounter."
quite interesting.lol.so can you say that imprinting can be related to having a soulmate? lol idk.quite debatable. well i guess if ur a BIRD and u focus urself on an object for a long time youll find a reason to bond with it really well. but then again having a soulmate doesnt really have a scientific basis, or is there? it is mostly theological more than scientifical. but not everything in this world is solely based on the belief that everything has to HAVE a scientific meaning anyway, for what you believe will become the ultimate truth. so it is still upto you whether to believe that your soulmate exists or not. to the hopeful and the hopeless romantic (or lonely person thereof) theres a big chance that they do believe and maybe you have found them, they may not be perfect in everyones eyes but to you you see your other half as perfection, two souls in harmony.
i leave you with a final quote to ponder upon:
“I can't control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today.”jonathan larson, RENT
btw. no im not a twihard and no i did not make up that word. i googled it. LOL. oh and im at work bored so im writing teehee.
