Sorry to get involved but.... are you confusing soul with spirit?
In distinction to spirit which may or may not be eternal, souls are usually
(but not always) considered to be immortal and to pre-exist their
incarnation in flesh.
We live with a spirit (your body loose weight after death), suffering is
good for the spirit to relief human pain, human plesures of any kind just
make you suffer more.
Just try it !
