Body + Life = You
Without a soul, there is only a lifeless body. Sorta like a shell with no life, reaction, movements. Basically it.
What do you people think about it?

I think 'soul' is a handy way to refer to one's consciousness or atleast a part of one's consciousness. The specific function of the brain which relates to self-awareness - awareness of all the inputs, processing and outputs of the brain - that I'll happily call a soul because all the other terms referring to it are too damn long.
