An old Chinese wives tale says that before one is born, one of the deities ties one end of an invisible spiritual red ribbon around your ankle (in some cultures its tied to your pinky/little finger), and that the other end is tied around the ankle (or pinky) of your soul mate.
They say that no matter how fate twists, turns, stretches or attempts to sever that thread/ribbon - it never-ever breaks. That ribbon transcends distance, cultures, countries and time. Hence if you ever found that person, you would naturally click and become a perfect pair made for each other - nothing can separate you. Thing is, not everyone is blessed with their fated encounter.
I'm a naturally serious guy, but I really found the story quite adorable. (Its just a fairy tale).
Am I childish to want to believe in something silly like this?
What do people here think? Has anyone heard of this before? ~DISCUSS~
And so it goes like this:
