Sleeping Beauty,
where the character goes to sleep
for many years and is awakened by a prince
(a teacher or school).
In reality, there are many who remain asleep
for most of their lives.
Sometimes, when they are in great danger,
for example,
soldiers often remember their time in battle
as the time they most cherish in their lives.
They aren’t aware that the reason for this
is that the ever-present threat of death
caused them to be in the moment, awake.
Or others have a wonderful memory of the time
when they were in love,
and life became beautiful again
because they were awake.
There are many who remain asleep,
they have a soul,
and it will have brief moments in its life,
but for much of it,
the soul will be asleep and there will be no memory.
So, they do have a soul, it just has gone to sleep.
