It isn't paradox. Every Soul has range of emotions including Determination, analytical mind and free will. It is the very culmination of your being after all, while body is only a shell. Asriel describes it well when he absorbed Chara's Soul and control over their body was split between them. Then Chara picked up their own corpse (awareness), returned to their village (memory) and tried to use their power against villagers (hatred). No one died only because Asriel resisted seeing what is happening. As you can see, even without their original body, Soul can be as efficent as normal human. Thus, Soul = person.
