[Dark Souls] Why are there so many souls?

For defeating enemies you seem to get rather large amounts of souls out of single bodies; are souls worth so little that people need to hoard them? What's up with that, and how much are souls even worth?

Think of a single soul as the soul of something insignificant, like an ant or something. The soul of a hero is worth like 1000 of those, and so when you use one it will be represented as 1000 ant souls. This changes with the strength of soul of whatever's killed, so a boss soul is worth 40,000 etc. It's represented as that as it's easier.
