What do you think about people and souls? Do you have a soul? What is and what does a soul do in your opinion?
I think l have a soul because l have felt many negative and sometimes positive emotions in my chest area over the years.
I envy other people because they don’t struggle with their emotions like l do.

I think your soul dies when you die.
I believe that your individual soul (ego) dies with you. It is what makes you an individual. But perhaps there is some kind of general universal consciousness that goes on beyond that. Like the whole universe has it´s collective consciousness (god?) and your brain is some kind of device that is connected to this “god” but it filters out all the other consciousness and possibilities except this particular individual experience. I mean when I look at the stars, with individual worlds around them, billions of years away and yet we can still see the light from them I just always think there is something more to this than just “randomness”.
Or perhaps it is randomness in a weird sense. Like the universe is infinite, and that means that everything exists and “nothing” does not exist. Everything that you can or even that you can´t imagine exists. And when everything exists this your individual experience must also exist along with every single other experience. Perhaps when you die you return to this “everything” only potential state. Or perhaps you could go live on some other experience. I believe there is only one true consciousness and it is just taking different forms before returning to it´s original everything state again. Perhaps I just ate too much LSD and there is really nothing more to it than this… Could be 😀
You think of the world the exact same as i do
Personally, I don’t believe in a soul. I think our perception of a soul is just our individual consciousness. That consciousness dies with you. It makes more sense to me that our minds are like light bulbs. Once they get so old or stop working they fade away and can never be lit again.
I could care less about the soul as long as the body dies. Soul or not life is meaningless, terrifying and disgusting. I don’t think you have anything but a body and the images they shove into your head. I’d kill it all in an instant if I could.
