What in god's name are you talking about? Do you welcome all on this site? Simple question. I hope you do welcome all. So if you didn't say that, say it now and if you did and it was missed, simply............indicate where and move on. This is all simple stuff why do you insist on this ongoing nonsense?

romansh Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Without looking it up Soul ... Could be (1) a synonym for a person, three souls perished in that accident. (2) An aspect of personality or culture, a person with little displayed passion might be described as she has no soul, culturally soul music or literature for the soul. (3) An imagined state of immaterial being, used by superstitious people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
