Laws of Attraction
What causes us to connect with, to
love, other human being? What is it that attracts us to one person but not
another? It certainly is nothing logical, although we try to rationalize it in
our heads. “I like him because he makes me laugh; I like her because she’s so
much like me; We’re best friends because we’ve known each other for so long.”
But then what happens when the person you feel this “connection” with is someone
who, for all logical, reasons is someone you shouldn’t like? Or vice-versa. I
have had experiences where I have met extremely interesting people who are
interested in many of the same things that I am, but as much as I wanted to, I
could not build that feeling of connection. It wasn’t that I didn’t like them.
There was just no “chemistry”. And I have met people that, even in a very short
period of time, I have developed a very deep connection with. I would really
love to know what creates and sustains these bonds. Are we attracted to
particular people for a reason? I read somewhere a theory that while we
communicate on a worldly level, unbeknownst to our egos our souls are at the
same time communicating, and this determines our level of attraction. I suppose
this is possible. And then, to take this question one step further, once we are
attracted to another person, what determines whether this will be a romantic or
more friendly attraction?
