BUT SO WHAT IF I SIMPLY SHOOT?

One, None, Or Many?
Is there just one person meant for everyone, or is there really no such thing?
One school of thought believes that there is just one person meant for everyone. That one, right person is not a fictitious character. It is not a concept. It is not a theoretical personality. It is a real person. There can only be one right person for each person.
Three categories of people find themselves in this school of thought:
The first category fails repeatedly until they finally find that one, right person. And when they do, everything is bliss.
The second category keeps failing repeatedly, and never finds the right person. Therefore, the right person eludes them for the rest of their natural lives.
The third category finds the right one, and then blows it. The third category type will just pine away and die, because there will never be another.
The alternative school of thought believes that there is no such thing as just one person for everyone. That one, right person is a fictitious character. It is merely a concept of the mind. It exists as a theoretical personality. In fact, there may be many right persons who exist in the conceptual realm, as well as in reality. This means, more than one person may possibly have the characteristics of that right person.
Two categories of people find themselves in this alternative school of thought:
The first category fails repeatedly with many people. Some of the failures may have involved some of the right persons that existed in reality. When they finally find one of the right persons and don’t fail, everything is bliss.
The second category keeps failing repeatedly, and never succeeds with numerous right persons who have come into their lives. The right persons have not eluded them. The fault lies not with the right person, but with self. The fault lies with self, because there is something inherently wrong in his/her life that still needs correction before a relationship can work with one of the right persons.
What do I think about those two schools of thought?
The first school of thought is an idealistic one. The alternative school of thought has a more redemptive feature. It gives a chance for recovery, improvement, and healing.
If the first school of thought is true, I wouldn’t want to be in the first category. It leaves a destructive trail. I wouldn’t want to be in the second category either. It’s too idealistic, bordering on impracticalness. I wouldn’t want to be in the third category too. It leaves no hope, and reduces a person into a sad wimp.
If the alternative school of thought is true, I wouldn’t want to be in the first category. It’s almost similar to the first category from the first school of thought. It leaves a destructive trail. If I had no other choice, I’d prefer to be in the second category. It is a more humane perspective. It puts no blame on others. After a period of healing, it encourages the self to improve itself. It gives room for correction. It offers hope.
