"In short, Lynch's view of the soul - is that it in of itself does not make you capable of being good or evil. What it does is provide you with the ability to feel connected to others, to the world. Not entirely a conscience, more ephemeral than that. A connection. The soul is your ghost. Your spirit. Without his soul John doesn't feel that extra kick. Without it, you are numb. Drunk. On meds."
It's pretty close to how I view the soul. For me, having a soul doesn't determine one's moral compass. But I believe it allows one to be an individual with feelings and choices. Without a soul, one is simply a zombie to me.
