I always have trouble explaining the concept of soul.My nephew asked me today.What's a soul ? He'd heard it about music too.Having soul.
Soul.
I respect that word so much now.
Anyone got a hard and fast definition ?
A human one rather than a cold 'reasoning'.
Thanks.

The part that goes on after you're dead, like ice to water to steam. No idea where it goes though.

I don't believe in a soul. Only the workings of the human mind which dies eventually.

Your soul is your heart song. It's what plays even after you push stop.

I don't feel qualified to answer that question, however I'll take a stab. Soul is the best part of us, the spirit part that involves conscience and the will to help self and others. An invisable best in all of us if we only acknowledge it exists.

I know there is a soul and I never even thought I would know

Yeah, I'm nuts.

The mechanical model of the body doesn't account for consciousness.Which in itself accounts for everything we feel.

Admittedly, explaining 'Soul' to a ten year old through the hazy headfuck of a Bipolar Universe...is a tad heartbreaking.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
