>>2974619absolutely correct.
>>2974624It is true whether you are talking about the spiritual soul, the soul as the true nature of your brain's wiring/chemistry, or both. The brain is designed to bond with one's partner and children on a chemical level and is adjusted over time living together to become closer and form a very strong bond. Ancient Europeans had their whole way of life built around the reality of the soul, with local variation, that has been chipped away at and built up at various times in history. We're now well into a period of decline of this philosophy.
