Question was: Define a soul first ?
Answer was: Source of energy behind everything.

Once in your OP you said; >>>if everyone knew each other; I'm talking actually know them (e.g., practically knowing everything they've been through, their mindset, their actions per day, etc.) then everyone would understand why people do their actions. Everyone would see that everyone's actions are reasonable, they all have a reason. Therefore; if everyone knew each other's reasons, then nobody would hate anybody<<<
Its the source of energy to perform any action. :)

Yes they do. The same as ours. There is only one soul, and everything is part of it.

I found this interesting. You honestly don't believe that animals are capable of thinking? Or love? Or anything else except base instincts? You are aware that there are some species that mate for life and when one mate dies the other will go into a depression and die from what is perceived to be "broken heart syndrome"? And you say they don't love?

Brain scans disagree.

If you were talking about fish and lizards you would have a point, but mammals do love.

Including trees, plants, flowers... Doesn't mean I like them but yes I believe they have a soul. Now what the soul is like, compared to ours is a different question. Is the soul of an animal, human or plant the same? IDK haven't formed an opinion on that yet.

What I said was mostly a joke :) Those are the sources of energy to help us survive (to live), but the soul is what keeps us alive. Two different things.

Animals don't have souls. Neither do humans (which are animals). There are no "souls." The soul is just a concept created by religion.
