Soulmates

My friend Daniel just said something I had to post here...

"I believe that soulmates make us better people... and not worse."

What is a soul mate? Who is our soul mate? And to qualify the quote, what is the meaning of "better person"?

To me, "better person" means better heart. More patient, more generous, less selfish...

Some people might think otherwise.

But if you have a soul mate, does he/she make you a better person, do you think? In what way? I don't think "more selfish" is better... I don't think "more wealthy" is better, although money is a cursed necessity.

I think more loving is better.
I think more giving is better.

No one who doesn't make me more loving and more giving, less selfish, less materialistic, less compassionate for other peoples' problems can ever be my soul mate.
