It is believed by the romantics among us that there is one person for
everyone in the world, a perfect partner, a magical OTHER. God, in her
or his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to set us on a course to find that
certain someone in our lives. That person could be anyone, anyone at
all, but when we find them we will KNOW. That person will complete us,
will make us whole, will give us true fulfillment. The One For Me.
So there are a million songs about that one person. The best example to
date (that is to say the cheesiest) is the Eurovision Elena Papparizou
song.
This concept is so accepted in everyday life that the phrase, "You are
the one" immediately triggers recognitions for anyone who spends any
time listening to global English-language pop on the radio. Logically,
no one in their right mind believes in that concept, but still, we're
all looking for Mr. Right, That Special Girl, My Other Half, and yes,
The One.
