Every soul is special. Theyโre all beautiful. Theyโre all far more significant than anyone on this rock realizes. I think when people are at their best, theyโre acting in accordance with their soul. The ones who have gone bad donโt have bad souls. Theyโve just given up on keeping in touch with them.
