Celestial Bodies
Imagine for a second you are a celestial body. This may not be far from the truth since it has been said that the same particles that make up our bodies came from the stars. Now, imagine you encounter another celestial body of equal mass. The two of you start spinning around each other for millenniums taking and absorbing parts of one another until ultimately colliding into one. I believe this is the image of true love.
The mass we have is the weight of our character/ambition/personality/virtues/caliber. The goal is to find another person with equal mass that we may fully learn to enjoy and discover over our lifetimes. This not only keeps us interested, but it allows two celestial bodies forming a new one as two souls uniting to becoming one rather than one body absorbing another.
This happens when someone with more mass encounters someone with a lot less mass. There is no slow spinning or dancing, but rather one celestial body gets absorbed by the other and the larger body overwhelms the lesser body with its virtues and ambitions. Worst yet, some bodies get absorbed without the larger body even wanting it. The larger body has taken into the smaller body, but does not care for it whatsoever and yet the smaller celestial body has given up everything, its essence and soul.
I was talking to a friend who I consider is high caliber and she is able to have other people give up large parts of themselves to her and yet she becomes unchanged by their presence in her life. The guys however move forward in life being forever changed by her and continue to look back and reflect on the moments they had with her as if they could have figured out those moments, they are unlocking a piece of themselves.
The truth is she was never looking for someone to give themselves up to her. She as well as all of us were looking for someone to unravel with slowly until the end of our lives.

The difference between humans and planets is that we can gain more "mass" via learning and maturing. What started out as a light planet can develop into a giant. The reverse is also true. People mindsets and insight can change over time, so a key match quality factor is two individuals being willing to grow from each other and the world together to establish/maintain a dynamic equilibrium.
i love stars
@SoullFire - Completely agree. We much grow to the equivalent of our mate or grow to the equivalent of the type of mate we would like.
I like this. I wouldn't have ever thought about it this way.
"...so a key match quality factor is two individuals being willing to grow from each other and the world together to establish/maintain a dynamic equilibrium. " I second this sentiment many times over.
I would like to add more to this later, if only Xanga has a way to bookmark posts. Running short on time at the moment.
ooo i like this, so its basically finding someone who is like you, right?
this is an interesting viewpoint but i'm afraid of all the bodies dissolving into one another and such... i like my personal space.
i would agree about there needing to be some sort equality where people can respect one another, but dont necessarily agree in needing "equal mass". If we look at partnerships on the most basic level...atoms bonding to atoms, it's more of "you've got what i need, i've got what you need, let's come together and share and be whole."
Ex..Chlorine (huge) has a valence of 7 electrons, but forms a strong ionic bond with sodium (small), which only has one elctron. They, by themselves are gas and metal, but when they come together, they are stable with the desired valence of 8...and become salt. And who doesnt like salt.
If we look at rhe celestial model, we might considered this a bad match, but it's really solid.
@selfuniversity - this is the nerdiest response ever, but I get what you were saying. Its about complimenting each other as well.
Interesting perspective
