My Experiences With Soul

The day had arrived when the ill fated ship had returned from Delos after completing its annual voyage from the pilgrimage. The death clock of Socrates had started and the cup of hemlock was waiting at his death bed. Before leaving for the heavenly abode, Socrates blessed the posterity with his immense knowledge about life and death; his sagacity touching the pinnacles of success; discoursing about the immorality of the soul while the death was at a distance of one hand away from the cup of potion. He wished to die hundred times if the death was taking him to the place where he could converse with Homer, Orpheus and Musaeus. He considered soul an immortal and wished for its prosperous journey to the other world. Death in his dictionary was parting of the soul from the body.
Do you possess a soul? What a dumb question! Tons and tons of pages have been written to answer this myth but the question still remains unanswered. After a fair struggle of nine months, you realize how much God has been favorable to you. The outcome of the divine favor could be laudable if you find yourself resting in the cradle of a castle. If a cheap soul was purchased for you, you have ended up in the lap of a pauper. Despite all hardships He bestowed you with this celestial blessing; you dare not to detest His will. However, He has promised you for taking it back after you have exhausted its usage. He however admonished you from time to time to purify it by ethical virtues, benevolence, nobility, generosity and truthfulness. You never paid any heed. Does this imply that someone else have to carry this burden and pay for your wrong-doings?
