The Soul Being Intertwined With (Moral) Professional Success

For a very long time, I was incredibly bored with the word "soul."  When people would talk about losing their soul, it didn't have any effect on me whatsoever.  Even when the topic discussed was profound and serious, and even tragic sometimes, I still didn't get it.

I don't give much credence to the word "soul."  It sounds like some silly bs, mostly because the only times I heard it was when high school kids are talking about soulmates.  Or hippies saying that anyone who wants to earn a decent living "has no soul."

Never mind the fact that the person in question is earning it though probably moral and honest means.  They want to make an honest buck.  Simply the fact that they want to make money automatically qualifies them as a counterargument to "ohm, I have a soul."
Usually makes me burst out laughing and then yawn and flip to the next page out of boredom.

And when I hear the word soul, I thing of a bag of sputum and mucus, mostly mucus. A big drip like an uvula hanging in the back there.  one time I was sick and I could feel the mucus dripping in the back of my throat post-nasal drip except it was much thicker and tasted gross n slimy-salty , it was thick infected mucus I think, and that's what I picture for some reason when I hear the word soul.
