Definition and Effect of Having A Soul

Watch me disagree with jar. I do tend to think of the soul as a "tool". We "use" it to appreciate art - or a flotilla of baby ducks. We "use" it to empathize with our fellow creatures.A "well-used" soul is scratched and dented, like a toy that has been enjoyed - or a battle-scarred jeep.I had a boss once who would force single mothers onto late shifts, threaten people into doing her favours, enjoy perks which she gleefully denied to everybody else - all the while smiling angelically and saying, "I don't know how anybody could hurt another person."I always had the impression that her soul was still in the original wrapper.Edited by Ringo, : Retensification.

I don't see much difference between soul/conscience/consciousness.
At least, I don't see dividing lines.

That is a good question (and one that might be topic-worthy). Will we need a conscience in heaven? Is it something we might want to keep forever, like a comfortable pair of jeans? Could it be a way of preserving fond (and not-so-fond) memories, and sharing them with others?(You can see why I have trouble drawing lines around it. )
