A being come forward.

"Some say, the ones that have a soul are alive.

But what are souls?

Have all living beings a soul?

Is someone, without a soul really dead?"

"Okay, we begin in the beginning."

The being split in two and begin conservation with himself.

"Are there souls?"

"Yes, there are souls."

"Have humans souls?"

"Sure, they have."

"Have animals souls?"

"Yea, some do have souls."

"There are animals that have no souls?"

"Yes, like is stated."

"And what about plants?"

"They have must likely no souls."

"So the higher the life form the more likely they have souls?"

"Something like that."

"But.

But when animals and plants don't have souls... they are not dead right?"

"No, they are not dead."

"So a soul is not necessary for being alive?"

"To understand what is life, you have to understand what a soul is.

To understand what a soul is, you have to understand what soul-matter is.

To understand what soul-matter is, you have to understand what mana is."

The two beings are merging together. To be one being.

"Mana is something great.

Mana is everywhere and nowhere.

Mana is strong and it is weak.

Mana is intelligent and it is stupid.

Mana is alive and it is dead.

Mana is changing the world and is not changing the world.

What mana is... i will not elaborate it.

This story is about life.

And not about the world.

If there is enough mana, they can become soul-matter.

If there is enough soul-matter, there can be born a soul."

The being split again.

"So, have animals than soul-matter?"

"Most of them, yes."

"Have plants soul-matter too?"

"Some of them, yes."

"What have the plants than mostly?"

"Plants have mostly only mana.

Some have soul-matter and some of the some have souls."

The being merge again together.

"Now, what is life?

Mana is life."

Soul-matter is life.

Souls are alive!"
