Are we the only that have souls? What is a soul anyway? An ability to observe the future self i.e. its saving aka the fate. All is equipped with some sort of self preservation. Most beings worth of the name have instincts, programs [tweaked by evolution] plus the ability of learning. Learning means, they can create some habits to alter their pre-programmed behaviours. Now, the soul observes and reflecting on the story, adds its hue to the habits. The core is in why/how a soul reacts to a story. Well, to be relevant [produce emotions] a story needs to touch games, food, sex and security [family, environment's harmony]. Soul reacts to the emotions. Animals have them too. Animals also have temperaments [that's how one defines an animal = a creature with temperament]. Fish play, some birds mourn and recognise themselves in a mirror. Dolphins like to fuck in front of one. Many herds care for all members. Apes can sign language and Russians love their children too. We can copy/parrot, learn and communicate better than other animals. Animals teach mostly by example, we can by books or videos too, but our instinct is best in personal settings where micro emotions show way. Our speciality is communication and knowledge sharing.. We have the strong innate mimicking/mirroring ability, because only we can communicate a comprehensive know-how as a safe way to anything in a stable environment. The instinct evolved in slow changing settings. It is connected with bonding and belonging. Our modern environments are far from stable. Even the true is not the old true. Mirroring feels good, yet it results often in rigidity and groupthink. The Man looks stupid not just on the macro, sawing out his own branch, but also at the micro scale where culture with its silly enchantments [cults, lotteries, ponzi schemes, political and sport supporting] occur.
