♪

Everyone knows what love stories are.

Love is a universal connection of mankind.

It's like that song:

♪ Love is all around

Love is everywhere.

It's on TV, in movies,

books, poetry, et cetera.

We connect with love,

which is why, for all you young creative writers in class,

it's only fitting that your first assignment

is going to be a short love story.

Can anyone tell me what the term "soul mates" means?

Yes.

Two people destined to be

in love with each other forever.

Ridiculous.

It seems some people disagree with this young lady's

definition of soul mates.

Would you care to share your thoughts on soul mates?

I'll pass.

This is a creative writing class.

If you wanna be good writers you need to be able

to convey your feelings on the page

through the characters you write, so, please,

share your thoughts with the class.

Well, I think it's exactly what it sounds like.

A story.

Interesting theory.

So you don't think Romeo and Juliet were soul mates?

Well, they died when the loving was getting good,

so too young to tell.

Soul mates are about finding that someone

who completes you and makes you feel whole.

Romeo and Juliet found that in each other.

They were in lust.

Lust was just the physical

Which is enough to complete anybody,

am I right?

So you don't believe in true love or actual marriage?

Well, believe me, I'd like to,

but life seems to prove otherwise.

Isn't marriage the union

of two people before God?

The joining of their souls in holy matrimony?

A union granted by a power far greater than us?

Sure.

Then how come a lawyer can get you out of it?

What gives them the power to break that sacred vow

between supposed soul mates?

If soul mates were real, I think there'd be less divorce

and the world would be a happier place.

If the love fades away then those two

weren't meant to be together.

I mean, soul mates are more than just a physical attraction.

They're that somebody you wanna be around,

someone you can't stop thinking about,

just by being in the same room as you.

Life is easier when you're with them

and nothing can stop the two of you

because you empower each other.

Then why must you lose that person in the end?

You make soul mates sound like they have happy endings.

What about the great love stories that end in tragedy?

If soul mates are two people that are truly destined

to be in love with each other forever,

what happens when one of them passes on?

Why must you lose such an amazing thing?

That's why I think it's a story.

Just saying.

Well, I can see we have some deep thinkers in class.

And that's a good thing.

I encourage each of you not to hold back

when you write your love stories,

and you decide whether it should have

a happy ending or not.
