a soul

the soul The verb soul often appears in literature and has its outpouring in religious thinking But is there a soul independent of the body if so, who does it belong to? when we of an older generation went to school bible-classes were important our teacher said when we did something we should not, it was the soul telling us we were wrong This was tricky and had to do with respect for teachers and authority and was clearly meant for us to behave the way the adults thought was sensible The easy way for many is to say there is not such a thing as a soul if so, is consciousness a thing only humans have, while animals live by instinct? When we read books, we find, in literature many references to religions We can't escape its influence, but is it right or another propaganda ploy by those who want us to see the world their way If body and soul are two different entities what happens to the soul? do the souls free of our bodies float in the great, infinity in a meaningless forever Yet, within us, there is consciousness, we know when we make an error of judgment this is our mind talking to us for those who do not feel guilt, we call psychopaths, ergo, being without a soul.
