Mehmet Murat IldanOur mind is our soul and we do not have any other soul. The concept of soul has been invented by ourselves to ease our fear of death.
About This Quote
This is a common belief that our mind is our soul. As we grow older, we notice that our soul seems to be useful for a few things in life, such as breathing and eating. However, when the body dies, it is believed that the soul no longer has a place to go. This belief causes a lot of anxiety for people who believe they will not have any use for their soul after death.
To ease their fear of death, many people have invented the concept of “soul.” However, this concept has been created by the mind and is not true in reality. A real soul would be something separate from our mind and would not have any purpose after death. This false belief causes people to worry more about death instead of living a happy life while they are still alive.
