To be honest, I don't believe in a 'soul'. I think it's a lovely concept and certainly aids in promoting moral behavior, but I just don't believe it actually exists. Maybe it's just a way of explaining to ourselves all the unexplainable thoughts and feelings we experience as a highly evolved and intelligent animal. Not to mention the strong influence of religious propaganda throughout the generations.
However, I do believe some things are good for and some bad for that unexplained 'part' inside us, the 'S'
Living in a big city, tall buildings, grey, lack of sunlight and overpopulation are all bad for the S I think.
Being surrounded with and/or interacting with nature, live music and dancing as well physically providing for yourself (fishing, building things, cooking) are all good for the S I think.
So here in the big city, the first big city I've lived in, I sometimes feel I feel my S is suffering. To counteract that, this week I went for a hike and to see some live jazz music (though, no jazz-dancing, I promise). A short hike on Sunday and an hours good jazz on Tuesday fully refreshed me for another week of congested subways and racing the other rats in this metropolis.
