Victory Unlimited
Master Don Juan
Objective: The Soul Mate/Quality Woman Peace Treaty!
<<<< Strapped inside a Blackhawk Helicopter, the soldier known only as Victory Unlimited flies the winged workhorse through the rainy skies at death defying speeds------over an undisclosed location----on yet another secret mission. Fighting in unison with other brave warriors from the SoSuave Armed Forces, the battle wages on many fronts-------in the air, along with him, flies KONTROLLERX, COLOSSUS, and JOEKERR. On the ground below, troops led by Generals KARMA SUTRA, JONWON, MR. POSITIVE, and Spiritual/Tactical Officer INTERCEPTOR make great strides as they advance upon the enemies of MANkind. While at sea, Commanders LAST MAN STANDING, JOPHIL, and Comrade RUDRA lead a fleet of ships in a valiant effort to restore The Natural Order of Things!
Meanwhile, with his left hand on the trigger of a 105 mm Howitzer, Victory Unlimited reaches up with his right to adjust the microphone on his helmet in order to send back a message to those gathered in the SoSuave Mature Man War Room----And the following is a transcript of what he spoke: >>>>>
“From high above, I have heard the rumblings of discord among the Brothers at Arms. I see, the USUAL presuppositions abound…and if they’re not spoken out loud, they are unmistakably implied:
All women are the same, there’s no such thing as women of quality, there’s no such thing as “soul mates”, etc…
Peering through the haze of confusion caused by pre-programmed reactions to preconceived notions of the more POPULARIZED meanings of these phrases, I see a battle over SEMANTICS being waged. What I offer here is not another argument, but merely another perspective. To some, it will be exactly what I mean for it to be---a broader, yet more defined explanation of terminology given in an effort to bridge the gaps of understanding----to foster reconciliation. But to others, it will be interpreted as merely another opportunity to split hairs, to stir up MORE trouble with the troops----which will be UNFORTUNATE. Because division is NOT my goal----UNITY is. But be that as it may. The mission continues…
First off, the encountering of a potential Soul Mate is not JUST a “magical moment” that causes a chemical reaction------but more an arresting recognition of a unique opportunity you have been given to connect with someone who MAY prove special to your life. For only the blind, the impetuous, and the foolish “fall” in love. The “wise” realize that love is not just an emotion----BUT a decision, an action, and a commitment. It is a BOND.
And bonds are not fallen into, they are FORGED------either consciously or subconsciously. YOU DECIDE. Because as long as men, like SOME misguided women, continue to subscribe to the belief that LOVE is more of a “feeling” than it is an “ACTION”…then the heavy emotional losses that they suffer will go on indefinitely-----AND unabated.
You see, soldiers, Quality Women and Soul Mates are both merely “trigger phrases” that many have a negative knee-jerk reaction to every time they hear them----and rightly so. If the definition you subscribe to of a quality woman is that of a woman who is perfect and behaviorally infallible, then I agree with you-----THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
And if the definition you subscribe to of a soul mate is that of THE ONE and ONLY person that you are ever destined to be with who will somehow make your life complete, OR somehow become your reason for living, then I agree with you here also-------THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
However, I subscribe to NEITHER of these viewpoints. So let us dispense with the HORIZONTAL THINKING for a brief moment and open our minds to a different and more useful definition of these two “trigger phrases”, shall we? Let us now advance further, troops…
A “workable” definition of a SOUL MATE
The SOUL:
Bare in mind, THIS is an extreme over-simplification of the deeper, more spiritual definition of THE SOUL as I have come to know it. So this abbreviated explanation is being given in the interest of providing CLARITY; so DON’T miss my point on purpose, troops:
If you can just wrap your head around the concept of “the soul” as a singular reference point used to describe who you are at your CORE, which includes your beliefs, your temperament, your ethics, and your likes and dislikes in MANY different categories---- then you will see that a soul “mate” is REALLY just a person that you can connect with on a more HOLISTIC level than the “average person”-----and you RECOGNIZE it.
The MATE:
Everyone knows that a mate is a companion, a partner, or a collaborator-----so, “to mate” with someone literally means “to match, to bond, to join, or to ALIGN with” them-----to make and/or find an “ALLY”.
Agreed, there IS no “ONE” person alone that fits this criteria for you-----there can be MORE than one----which is GOOD----which is also why men who WANT Long Term Relationships or Marriages should remain open to the idea of meeting ONE, one day.
THIS is a definition of “a” SOUL MATE that is far from myth, but instead, is firmly rooted and grounded in REALITY.
So now, the question arises:
How do you go about finding and/or recognizing a woman who is a potential Soul Mate (as it has just been RE-DEFINED)?
And the answer is:
You MUST qualify her.”
