What is the soul? I'll refine from any cheeky South Korean wisecrack remarks and ask another question... Is there such a thing as a soul? It's something I've been thinking about lately.... so... let's start with some definitions...

Clearly... the "soul" and the characters that embody that "idea" comes with some interesting finer points..
Some of you might be familiar with this meme...
Friendship... among other "ships" carry some interesting cargo...
One of the more interesting "ships" imo.. is the "sole proprietorship"..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_proprietorship
As I have been thinking along these lines... I've found it fascinating the similarities between our bodies and ships... The body functions as a ship that carries the cargo of the soul..
Also... the idea of the stuff you own.. being a representation of your "sole property"... this is to say that what you have put time and energy into that has manifested in your life is a representation of part of your soul... it is your sole property.. to say that whatever it is in question is solely yours and no one else's..
So...
We have to think about families that have a lot of wealth... (I use the term wealth here specifically.. because there is a major difference between someone that is "rich" and someone that is "wealthy").. Wealthy people don't think in terms that get you "dollar bills".... it's a different mindset.. This is seen over and over on the news where people win the lottery or somehow come into the presence of a large sum of money and usually if not prepared, or if mismanaged, the money can be gone in a few years.. sometimes a number of months..
This then comes with this idea of how to manage wealth.. and that is what real wealth is.. it's a well.. a mainline injection into the current that is what drives our ability to create currency.. A "rich" person in this context would be the person that wins the lottery and squanders the wealth within the first few years because they have no idea what it takes to manage money properly.. Instead of thinking of money as a tool.. they think of it as a means to an end.. something they HAVE to trade their time for to get.. when they win.. its like they have been able to cheat the system.. while a wealthy person can lose fortunes several times in a lifetimes.. and the principles they live by and their mindset that allows them to live the life they do..
So.. imagine being born into wealth so great that it was considered "unfashionable" to display it.. you as a child might be sheltered for a number of years.. not knowing how much wealth is in your family... it's a type of grooming that allows a person to be able to handle what comes with this responsibility...
This point... alone.. brings to mind several interesting points few of which I will touch on here.. If.. there is indeed a method of "grooming" a person into being able to deal with this type of fortune.. there seems to be some sort of recipe for making a "great" person... or at least someone that is able to handle the pressure that "normal" people would not..
This is to say that these elite people are "made" in a sense.. not being able to grow without any interference.. and with this sheltered grooming lifestyle comes the question of free will.. is this person able to truly think for themselves if they have all these other people looking out for them and giving them "advice" that affects how they see the world and how they think..
This is how we would describe a "handler"...
So now.. imagine being in one of these families and being a fuck up..
Say your parents before you were born decided not to ever tell you about the wealth that was in the family... and that you could not have access to the money until you were a certain age.. This would be done to ensure that the child has a completely "normal" upbringing... unaffected by the weight of that money and wealth.. until they reach a point where they can see it within a proper context.. a sort of investment mindset.. and not something they would waste.. thus securing the fortune for another generation..
Now think.. say maybe your parent was a real peice of shit.. and the family decided that they weren't going to be allowed access to the wealth.. because this person didnt even care about how to think about things properly let alone how to manage this fortune.. and a type of grooming was going on to you.. or the child in this case.. that would form them into something their parent wasn't...
This ties the "sole property" of the family to the destiny of the family member...
So if we have some sort of recipe for allowing people to handle these pressures are these people that are "made/groomed" real people? Or part of some system that they don't understand? Do they have free will?
In this way a "soul contract" could be written to ensure the future of an outcome..
Just something to think about...
