I like this definition of a soul mate. In todays society everybody thinks that your "soul mate" is the person that you are going to be with for your whole life. This section of the book gives Elizabeth a reality check and that everyones life isn't picture perfect and every girl can't walk away with a happily ever after. I personally do not know if I have had any soul mates that have entered my life. But I have learned something different from every person that I have gotten to know. Life would be boring and pointless if you never faced disappointment or if you weren't faced with challenges. People entering and leaving your life I think does happen for a reason because each individual has something to share and knowledge to be spread. When friends/ soul mates come into your life they can some times see beneath the surface of certain things that you don't see yourself. Those people are there to tell you the truth and be there as a "mirror" like Richard says. They can act as a conscience, help lead you down a better path, or teach you certain lessons you wouldn't learn on your own from their life experiences.
