In my opinion, soul is an older word for what we would now call personality. With soul and it often used among those expecting eternal, for ever living, they are saying their soul or personality,, both being unique to each individual, will pass on with them in the afterhere or the hereafter. Other wise, soul and personality in the here and now would seem to me to be the same thing.

I have no idea if I have a soul or not, I do not clean it in the shower, I do not set a place for it at dinner, and I sure as heel do not let it order when at a restaurant.

?? This soul?

There's a pair of Nikes up for grabs?

They both ordered the fish but the kitchen only has one?

Don't you know?

It means that two dumb ass politicians can't think of anything smart to say, so they are pulling out old crowd pleasing cliches.
