Who can explain why we are attracted to one person more than another? Why it sometimes happens that in a few instants, in one brief conversation, there feels to be already a friendship established, though few words have been spoken, and so few memories shared? How can it be that we can take an immediate liking to someone, and open ourselves up to them willingly and easily, when it is generally such a chore with others? When one is always on guard and hiding their true self behind politeness and expected small talk, how can comfort and fearlessness be explained in a new connection? Who can explain this strange attraction that manifests itself as an itch to reach out, to speak to, to see, to get to know this other being, because the potential of an honest friendship seems not only obvious, but realisable too? Who can explain the mysterious forces which govern the relationships we seek, find and love in the course of a lifetime?

Well, in my philosophical writing, I pointed out that love is a soul reflection and as such, this attraction appears because the two people belong to the same soul category. It is a force that attracts them, not a well-thought thought or bodily beauty. Beauty might vanish, talks might end, but the attraction is still there.

This is fascinating, and very similar to the way I think of relationships and love. I have noticed that I tend to seek friendships with people who appear to be very similar to me – not in appearance but more in personality, character and values. That’s why some of my friends are 30+ years older than me. Refreshing to hear someone thinks of it from a soul perspective too! 🙂

Yes, it is refreshing indeed.

There is one more thing we have in common. You seem to write in a diary style, something I did as well in 2012/13. I explained it in depth in a poet talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1awTP5mMFqY
