is there really a person we are destined to?

i have an aunt who is so open with her lovelife. she told me that there was a man she loved so much that she even got a daughter from him. the man wanted to marry her but our family did not allow her because she was too young then. the sad part was her mother wanted that man to be killed because of what he did to my aunt. so the man left the place and from that time on my aunt did not hear anything from him. later my aunt got married and had a family. years had passed when her husband died of skin disease and so she is now single. accidentally their path had crossed. she did not expect to see that man again. they talked and surprisingly the man's wife died too of cancer. the man proposed again to my aunt and now they are together. is there really someone we are destined to?

yes, i believe that every person are destined to someone and it is up to them how they're going to find the person that are destined to them and it is also a choice as what Paolo Choelo said in his book(pilgrimage). Not all are lucky in finding their soul mate.

i think there is. however, in my opinion, i think we shouldn't dwell on fate but we should exert much effort in searching for the person meant for us. in your aunt's case, she just really love the guy so much and it's hard to just tear down their relationship with that guy because they have a child.

I don't give too much attention on one's destiny because it is us who make our own path in life. We all live in a world of consequences, do good and good will follow, do evil and evil follows. Meeting someone special from the past may have something to do with our current location with the other person, the places we like to go, and so on. Would it be nice to think that they will meet again if their spouses have to die? That doesn't sound good, right? For me, my wife is a blessing. It is God who gives good spouses. If I have did bad things in the past, I may have not met someone like her. I may have met someone out of bad habits or companionship.

Hello, I don't think people are destined to be with one person only. I see it as we can have mamy potential romantic partners through out our lives.Depending on the time we are in our lives, someone might not be a potential partner but they might be later down the years.And there are billions of people we might never meet but might meet during a different time in their life time.I just don't believe there is only ONE we can ever love.

i would like to think so but i really dont. ive seen people come and go with good relationships and bad. some genuinely good people who lived their lives alone or divorced. every know and then i do see couples who work perfect together but usually they dont have as interesting a story as yours.

very warmly love story, and hope they can have a happy life. in most of the time, i don't believe in fate, and i am antitheist and i don't believe in god. but there still have some strange things that we can't to say why, that's really weird. and for love, i really find the things like your topic, so maybe God really exist in our life and God will say " True loves are finally together." maybe all things are already decided by God. thanks

oh, your story made my heart melt. i do believe that there is someone out there for each of us. but it is not written in stars or laid down from a silver platter. we have to make it work and earn the love that we deserve. it takes a certain opennes and faith that a person deserves to be with us, and that we should be conscious of the connections and subliminal messages that another person is for us ultimately.

Okay the thing that doesn't make sense there is your aunt was pregnant, had a baby and her family still didn't want her to marry this person she loved? That doesn't make any sense to me. I'm glad that fate brought them back together and they can live together as they were always intended to do so.
