Selling Your Soul

Soul is a force that causes consciousness to cohere. Your soul is not an object. There is no amount of soul that if you use it up you will be all out of soul. You cannot sell your soul literally, because nothing and no one is buying. Some though do run a racket to have you believe that your soul is a commodity that can be traded in and what you can do is give part of your awareness in exchange for something you think you can attain.

Your soul is valuable for what it is. Useful for what it is not. It is immeasurably valuable because it is your life. Your very being. Nothing can take your soul from you, but you can and do give it. People give their soul to gods, to countries, to moneys, to art, to relationships, to ambitions. So do you know where your soul is invested? Do you know where your soul is spent? Do you know where your credit actually comes from?

“To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That’s what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul – would you understand why that’s much harder?” Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“Can’t sell your soul for peace of mind.” Tom Petty
