Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
The nature of the soul is a topic that has been explored by many philosophers, including myself. In Plato's dialogues, the soul is often described as a separate entity from the body, capable of existing independently and having a deeper understanding of reality. It is believed that the soul has a connection to the eternal and unchanging realm of Forms, which are abstract concepts such as goodness, beauty, and justice. The soul is said to have the ability to recollect knowledge from previous existences and to possess innate knowledge. However, it is important to note that there are different interpretations and perspectives on the nature of the soul, and it is a subject of ongoing philosophical inquiry.

The metaphor of exchange, as derived from Heraclitus' Fragment 90, provides a foundational understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. In Plato's philosophy, "The Good" is a transcendent form that serves as the ultimate standard of value and perfection. The metaphors of fire and gold, as mediums of exchange, can be seen as representations of the inherent value and transformative power of "The Good." Just as fire transforms and gold is a standard of value in commerce, "The Good" serves as a transformative standard in the realm of forms and ideas.
