Soul? That’s just an excuse to justify not doing a damn thing for an extended period of time.
What do you mean by soul?
You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.
Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.
If anything, I think “mind” might be what you’re looking for. Why complicate things with an indefinable term like soul?
Would you like to discuss it?
No. This is nonsense.
Eye roll. Just shut it down will you? Why even bother posting if you’re not being constructive? Discussion expands the mind.
