I know it is like meeting a person in a pub, club etc but in reality do you think you can meet "the one" here?

'The One' similarly to 'reality', is probably more to do with what's going on in your head than the world at large. In other words, if you think someone is 'the one' then as far as you are concerned, they are. Therefore, where you find 'the one' is irrelevant, unless of course it is a criterion that defines 'the one'.

So yes

Hark unto The Great Kadushu!
And his words of wisdom!

Who is to say, Grasshopper, where one could meet the one?
One could meet the one anywhere.
Is it not as likely to happen here as anywhere else?
Is the whereness important?
Or is it the meeting?

The belief that the one exists is the first thing.
The belief that you can meet the one comes next.
It is as important, Grasshopper, as the belief in reality.
Without that belief, reality itself could not exist.
And meetings in pubs and clubs would just be monsterous frigments of our collective imaginations.

'Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?'
(Some Poe-faced poet! )

A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe



If "The One" is out there - spread your net far and wide - the internet is far bigger than your local pub!
