it is better to find love,than to complete your life long dream

I am presuming this is more of a philosophical debate than a hard facts debate, so I shall take it as so. As the resolution suggests, my opponent is affirming that it is better to fall in love than to accomplish ones dreams. I will start with rebuttal. ==Rebuttal== " I would first like to say that most of the times, when a person follows their dreams; they don't always stay consistent with them. They may be content with them for the time being, but usually their interests change and deteriate. " This is also true with love. Someone may change their mind about the person they may love. They may think they love someone, and then commit adultery. Someone's interest in someone they love can change and deteriorate. However, someone can have a life long goal, such as travel the world, and keep it until they die or complete it. Once it is completed, they will look back on it with triumph and be happy with life. ' When a person falls in love with some one, if it is true love, then they will stay with that person for all of eternity. They will always be there for that person, through any trial. They will always be there to hold them, to comfort them, and to listen to their every problem or difficulty. " Firstly, I would like you to define true love, as it is essential to this debate. " Their dreams also aren't always achievable. But it is possible for anybody to fall in love. There is some one out there for every one. " Actually, I would believe quite the opposite. Someone's life long goal/dream could be very realistic, such as travel the world, whereas someone can travel through life without finding love. I would believe finding your one 'soul mate' amongst millions of people would be harder than travelling the world. " Some one out there just like them, that would love them with all their heart and soul. Dreams aren't always accomplishable, like it or not. And a lot of time people lose interest with those dreams. ' Again, most things applicable with dreams/goals are applicable to love. Someone may lose complete interest in finding love. Finding true love is as hard, if not harder than accomplishing a goal or dream. Mainly for the reason is that very few couples are true love. Many are people who like each other, cannot find anyone else, or are experimental. " Falling in love is far more important than achieving a small, unnecessary goal. People need to look forward in life, and a soul mate better helps you achieve this than a goal. " What if falling in love is someone's goal? Is falling in love then not a small, unnecessary goal? Falling in love is a milestone in one's life. Completing a goal or dream may be as important. Completing many would be far better tan falling in love. According to your logic of 'there is a soul mate for everyone', you can fall in love once, but can accomplish as may dreams as you would like. This may have more value to someone than falling in love. Also, why should falling in love signal the end of one's dreams or goals? Surely accomplishing them with your soul mate would make them better. To finish off, I would ask my opponent to define true love. I would also question the concept of soul mate, as this implies a omnipotent supreme being. Fin.
