A fascinating proposition lending itself to those who believe in souls is does every person have one? More than a valid question considering the complexities of life. Is it possible some of us are but actors? I’d say so.
The concept of soul leads straight to four possibilities: either everyone has one, some do and some don’t, only I have a soul, or the actors are indeed souls themselves. Personally, I’m partial to the last one but let’s review all four.
The idea that everyone has a soul implies a similar circumstance that lives within everybody. This assumption, brought forth by the holy Catholic Church, was initially believed by everyone but today it no longer makes sense. There is no way everybody on this planet has a soul. No doubt in my mind many of us are simply acting.
