I am an advocate of kindred spirits and soul-mates, rightly or wrongly. While this notion is not a new construct of personal relations, it does cause consternation amongst those that are unwilling or unable to extend beyond the boundaries of the generational morays that test the limits of our world. Life is about living and sharing with one another. It has nothing to do with the artificial limits and boundaries created by those that believe that the world should or shouldn't be founded on elements other than what appears to be the generational norms. Personal relationships are not based on age, religion, race or any other artificial, self-delusional created constructs: it is about sharing your life with people that you have a personal connection, soulful spirits, soul-mates, or kindred spirits. It has nothing to do, nor should it be devoted to, the notion of what some imposed—and it is imposed either consciously or unconsciously by conservative values of what is right or wrong or any other comparative value system—and socially conforming force of acceptance.
This acceptance is all about creating a world apart, a generation apart. Instead of bridging worlds, bridging generations, there is the mythical notion that these should be divided by some arbitrary standard of separation. Peer pressure, family pressure, and, dare I say, societal pressure reaffirm this notion of generational relationships that are a world apart.
