Thanks! Now I have a TITLE! =D =D (I don't really know how to make retarded smilies....they're as close as I can get..)
I think the soul is like you at it's center. Like no matter where you go, if your dead or alive, it w/ you because your soul is you. Maybe the definition of 'you' is your soul. Here's the dictionary's definition:
1 the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
• a person's moral or emotional nature or sense of identity : in the depths of her soul, she knew he would betray her.
• the essence of something : integrity is the soul of intellectual life.
• emotional or intellectual energy or intensity, esp. as revealed in a work of art or an artistic performance : their interpretation lacked soul.
2 a person regarded as the embodiment of a specified quality : he was the soul of discretion.
• an individual person : I'll never tell a soul.
• a person regarded with affection or pity : she's a nice old soul.
3 African-American culture or ethnic pride.
• short for soul music .

Or.. maybe you can keep making me moderator and as soon as she takes me off you can put me on again... this calls for a WAR! bwhahahhaaa....
Okay =D We're having a war w/ Ben about who's mod, so you may see yourself removed frequently. I'll make sure to put you back on =)
Oh well, might as well get it done and rip it off like a band aid...
So, your soul is that "thing" that makes you think "I am who I am, and I will never know what it is like to be someone else and then be able to think about that back in the person i am." It also controls part of the mind- like I said, PART of it. Then, on the other hand, it might control all of it or actually BE part of the mind- since they are both things we know about but can't see or prove that they are reall "there". So basically, it is what makes you YOU. It is the thing inside you that controls how much "good" and "evil" you will have in your heart, do for others and yourself, and have in your life. Because everyone is both good and bad, in at least some way.
that was a bit long, for ME, anyways... =P
