We're all just biological lifeforms, a miracle of molecules and atoms, an evolution on a rock that happened to have the right conditions, that no doubt happens in countless places and times in existence (the past, the future, distant galaxies, anywhere you can imagine it's possible...) where the conditions are also right.
There is a type of soul though. Humanity evolved from the animals because of our ingenuity, our intelligence, our resilience above the rest. Why is it now that people are herded like sheep or ant farms, and so few think for themselves? We're living in crowded conditions, watching the same programmed 'programmes' on our media devices, reading the same bullshit, we're no different from animals except that so many of has have a delusion of 'sentience', of independent thought, of being superior to animals. Animals socialise, animals frolick, animals hunt prey to feed themselves and their family. Animals don't sit in shacks gluttonously gorging themselves on every scrap until they become quite the fat bastards, all while watching the 392424th series of the latest reality TV show everyone is talking about on headbook.
Human society is crowding people together, yet making them more alone than ever, and making them all think and watch and see and do the same things much like something from an Orwellian novel. It's quite ridiculous. The funniest thing is those in power are just as deluded as anyone, because space and time are above it all. The one way for humanity to do good would have been to work together for common goals (scientific discoveries and not just the profitable ones, the advancement of our species, searching the stars, finding a great meaning) and those running our world fucked that up in favour for a little hedonism, or profit, or control, which holds no true meaning on earth or humanity or society or existence, except some little chemicals in their frail biological brains (dopamine and such).
To get back to the subject, I believe there is soul in humanity, and that soul is managing to avoid all of these pitfalls and downfalls that society throws at you, remaining an individual after it all. Fuck the corporations, fuck the politicians, fuck the breweries telling everyone in society they need to drink to be normal, fuck the governments for cramping people together and making them unhappy, fuck the big pharmaceutical companies, fuck the big religious heads pretending to be divine while hoarding wealth while children starve on other parts of the world, all of those above and the many more like them are the great enemies to humanity.
Pursue philosophy but never get stuck to a viewpoint or single mindset. Pursue science with interest but keep an open mind. Ignore religion. Don't indulge in drugs or alcohol, no matter how many people and organizations tell you it's not bad and no matter how much propaganda (internet or elsewhere) tells you so. I've smoked pot in the past and I've seen all of the propaganda and while I'm against prohibition, it's a thing that clouds the mind and the body. This metaphorical? soul I'm talking about is clouded by such things. It's clouded by getting sucked into reality tv shows. Clouded by being closed-minded about many subjects.
I believe the best way to live your life is to be open minded about EVERYTHING except that which can cloud your body, your mind, your soul. This is not religious babble, this is my logic. 50 years from now when I'm considerably older, I don't want to be a drug/ alcohol addled old guy who can't think for himself and needs help in everyday life. I want to have my mind and my body intact. Alcohol is just a chemical that happened to be discovered and is now making greedy people a lot of money. Pro-alcohol propaganda is EVERYWHERE in society, and people from EVERY walk of life are sucked in by it. This stupid chemical is basically poison. A world where people have to intoxicate themselves to be naturally social is a sad one. Why is society like this? As for marijuana, it dulls the mind, the senses, the perceptions... It is not something anybody who wants to consider themselves wise should indulge in. Of course you'll see a whole load of propaganda arguing that it's the healthiest thing since water, but THC is a foreign body when it passes the blood-brain barrier just as alcohol is. Make your body and your brain a temple, like the quote below. And try to keep a positive outlook on life and the world, don't let misguided people drag you down. People should eat simple healthy food, and drink water. Don't be a customer of a diseased society. Go fucking set yourself free. Listen to some good music, even if it can often be quite pretentious I honestly believe it can nourish the soul. So many in society have no souls, because of the way they are living. Religion isn't the cure or the answer, religion is bullshit. Self-searching, honesty, good healthy natural living and food and drink, good honest human relationships, friends, and no pettiness/ squabbling/ jealousy/ pretentiousness... Don't live your life for others, live it for what you believe is right. Love the world, love humanity. No, I'm not a hippie, as I might be called in a derogatory manner for what I just said, I just want my species to get a fucking grip!
