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.

    Some crazy person is telling people on this website that I killed myself. I am, in fact, doing quite well, in case anyone knows me from before and was worried.Xoxo Halter

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
