A lost and dead Soul

A lost and dead soul.

My heart speaks to you:

You have fallen… you have lost your way… you have lost your soul.

I am here to help you find your soul again.

I will lead you, take your hand and show you the way.

All you have to do is trust me.

An old soul returned...

A lost and dead soul. How do we describe a soul that is lost and dead?

A person doesn't have to be alive to be described as lost and dead. It's very possible for a soul to be lost and dead even after death has already occurred. It's about the feeling it gives to others.

The word 'lost' refers to the feeling of being left alone in a cruel world. The world we live in is cruel, that's a fact. Too many people are born too early, leaving this cruel world without ever experiencing it. Once they're gone, their souls are lost.

Life is cruel but death is even more cruel. Death is the end to something that has just begun. Death is premature; death is untimely; death is unkind.

It's not at all fair how life separates us from the things that are dear to us; it's not fair at all. It's not fair how death separates us from the people we love.

A soul, who has lost its way in life, becomes the favorite plaything of death. Death is incapable of sensing the difference between those who are alive and those who are dead. He is also incapable of distinguishing between those souls lost and those who are dead, but on the verge of losing their lives. Death holds a function that is necessary to life. Although, as strange as it may seem, death is necessary to life, because it only destroys when it senses that a soul has died and lost its way in life.

…yet, although death is necessary to life and fulfills a function in the overall scheme of things, it causes the body to suffer great pain and agony. Death never comes alone. He has another partner with him and that is illness. The moment death takes hold of a body, he invites illness to do the same. A wave of illness washes over the body and begins to destroy it slowly from the inside out.

I could remember when one of my coursemates lost her mother. On the day of the funeral, I attended and as I sat there, I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of melancholy and loss. Just like the many faces around me, our collective souls were lost, looking for direction and guidance.

It is a soul that is full of life but has no direction. It is a soul that is lost and confused on how to find the right direction. It is a soul that has dreams but doesn't know how to achieve them. It is a soul that is dead on the inside and doesn't know what to do about it.

With all the distractions in life we do not realize when our soul is starting to lose its direction. As we grow older we learn more about life and how to live it. That can cause us to forget about our soul, for we may become so focused on improving our lives without realizing what we left behind.

We live in a society that makes us believe that we need to keep working harder to make more and more money, buy bigger homes, buy nicer cars, and have the perfect families. But in reality we are at the place where we are forgetting about something very important, we are forgetting about our souls and what they truly need. If you have ever seen a person who has everything but still isn't happy then you know exactly what I am talking about.
