Is the show right? πŸ€” 🌎🌍🌏

So me and a few friends were talking, usual nonsense and whatever
And then the topic of relationships and marriage come up 🫣

And apparently it’s mentioned on the show the Good Place? ( I haven’t seen it yet )

Where everyone has an actual soul mate, but it’s never usually the person that we end up with. It’s some complete stranger on the other side of the World. The only reason we never actually find them it’s either because we never travel there or it just never happens.

I thought it was bs, but the more I think about it, it kinda makes sense. It sounds bad but we basically just look for the love of our life in our city or wherever we live.

Maybe our perfect match is somewhere across the World? Im definitely overthinking this… πŸ˜’

Thoughts anyone?

I’m not really sure your friend understood the message of the show. In the show whole soulmate idea is a farce created by the antagonist to torment the characters. Because the characters believe the person they’ve been paired with is their soulmate they stay in unhappy relationships despite all the signs they are not a good fit for each other. The happy relationships in the show come about from appreciating people for who they are and the realness, randomness of life. Everyone is much happier in the show when they choose people that enrich their life rather than insist on forced relationships based on who/how they wish the other person was.

Edit: Statistically, you’re more likely to end up in a compatible relationship with the people who live near you, because those are the relationships you get to develop the most by having shared experiences together, relatively frequently where you get to observe/engage in with who they really are faster. Of course, if you live someplace with a high population of people who aren’t compatible with your values, then that’s harder. For someone like me, I’d probably have to date a lot to find someone I hit it off with if I lived in Alabama, for example. Where I live now wasn’t one great guy after another, but there definitely was more common ground.
