how deep does it have to be to be considered soul? not many or many few people have what would be considered soul what depth of feeling and emotion is it? is it pure empathy? is it an understanding between as few as two people sharing something or some experience that they and only they connect on? many characteristics make up a truly caring person, intelligence, compassion, empathy, insight, foresight, grace and a sense of humor. why does it seem that the deepest thinking persons find humor in the most remedial of things? is it because we know and understand the heartbreak and the love lost and the true love shared for each other? so it's ok to poke fun, or to be ridiculously silly without judgement, cause the humor masks the pain and fear of knowing that the laughter simply hides the tears.
