lol sorry for not replying this is a legit question
So I've been reading a lot of fairy tales lately, and you can laugh, but I'm serious about this. And in Undine, the Little Mermaid, and (probably) Light Princess, the protagonists are nereids and don't have souls. Usually this is fine, but said protagonists are all trying to GET SOULS. There's this one character in Undine, though, Kuhleborn, who is her uncle and so also a nereid. And he doesn't have a soul and doesn't care about getting one.
and he's evil.
I don't hate Kuhleborn, he's only trying to keep Undine from injury after all, but because of him her heart is broken, twice, and he hurts a lot of people. But his nature is poor and he doesn't understand love.
So I'm beginning to think that we should think about what we're saying when we say we "don't have a soul." I realize it's only a joke, but you know, words are powerful, even when they aren't meant. So...we should think about it.
I brought this up just because I'd been reading fairy tales and I think that fairy tales are very powerful and rather relevant, not because anybody on here has said something
(i think every teenager of this generation has at least once claimed to not have a soul, myself included, so... : ) that's a lot of souls we don't have)
sorry for wasting your time :P
