In many situations, color can be used to express mood or feel. Why would one want to avoid the use of color? I don't understand this "soul" you are taking about. If anything, removing color from an image may possibly achieve the opposite - suck the life out of it. I certainly would not want to live in a world void of color!
Because color may distract from your subject. Because you want to take a step away from reality. Because for you photography is art and you enjoy creating art with shades of gray.
Hey, there is a wonderful tutorial on how to "sketch" a face with an eraser and a canvas covered in charcoal. It might help make more sense out of b&w photography for you.

I use B&W if color conveys no real information, but so often color conveys so much!Monochrome will capture the soul of an image if the colors aren't interesting , still color can produce interesting photos but B&W goes all the way to the soul + B&W can be more forgiving . It has been said when you shoot in color it only gets to the surface . So everybody commit on this subject .
