Weight of a soul?

I've been listening to a lot of Bill Hicks and Tool Lately. I had this interesting thought.
For a great long time I've thought that the moment I discarded my moralities and said "fuck it all" I lost my soul. But, it might be that perception and a burden of heavy feelings are the weight of a soul gained.
I'm not interested in "Oh, everybody has soul, Panda." No, I want to contemplate beyond the common thought. What if a soul is something you gain through throwing aside everything you've ever learned and relearning through experience? Through opening your mind up to embrace the random, and embrace whatever may come?
Then again I'm fairly mad in the head (mostly from pursuing such thoughts) so, this could just be absent minded chatter. But I feel that I've got something interesting here.
Again, I'm not interested in "well every body has a soul," or "science says this" I'm open to those ideas and you're more than welcome to disagree with me. But, I don't want to take away from this one thought, and get distracted. Instead, what if?

I'm not actually certain of what you're trying to say, but it does seem like you have an interesting idea.

What if we're not born with souls but instead grow them as we learn and experience life?

Also... I'm not bitching " oh these feelings they're too much. I can't take it anymore" no fuck that. Look, I'm a manic depressive. I feel most alive when I feel.
