SOUL MAN

A wandering soul roams the earth in search of its home, squeezing and forcing itself to fit into figures created for another for 8 years. "Who am I," cried the soul? The wandering soul passes a mirror only to notice that it has a reflection. "Is this who I am," asked the soul? The soul began to transfer itself into its reflection. "Such a perfect fit! This is who I am. This is where I belong!" The soul had now become a Soul-Man. He named himself Mark. Mark devoted all of his time into grasping the newness of himself. He mastered the understanding and the importance of the five senses.

One day he asked himself, "is there anyone else here like me?" He began to study the habits, lifestyles, and customs of other Soul-Men. He was particularly intrigued by the way some manipulated others for their own benefit. A part of him attempted to restrain the idea, but the other self acquired a taste for domination. Soon, Mark could no longer control his hunger. His craving for power began to eat away at his flesh. He mastered the art of manipulation and control without emotion or moral attachment.


On his 36th birthday, Mark decided to take a stroll around the earth. On this strange day, he passed a mirror only to notice that it had a reflection. "What is this? This can't be me! I know who I am!" Mark began to attempt to transfer himself into his reflection only to have the mirror shatter right before his eyes. Mark began to take a look at himself. He was no longer a man. It became as it once was, a wandering soul.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
