Hey soul! If you do not enjoy being anywhere
then change your knowing activity and take an interest in your
soul. It is likeable within the soul. The soul is filled
with happiness; you will definitely like it there.
There is no enjoyable place in the universe
but it is definitely enjoyable in the soul
and only in the soul. So take an interest in your soul.
