If you were reincarnated with all your memories intact, do you think you'd succeed in life then?

[esistzeit]

Suppose you didn't have a sick body and you were born under amicable circumstances.

Do you think you could do? Would you like to?

 

[FuneralCry]

I'd just suffer, the thought of being reincarnated into this cruel and torturous existence where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel is horrific to me. I don't wish to remember anything about this existence, being conscious and aware is painful for me, instead I just want all to be forgotten about, I simply wish to cease existing, the only relief for me lies in eternal nothingness.

 

[grimreality]

FuneralCity, and you're propably right. As much as I'd personally wish for reincarnation to be true I see no reason for it being true.

 

[weightoffmychest]

I hope death is the end. Reincarnation sounds like hell to me.

 

[Ashu]

No, I'd fuck up in exactly the same ways. With an intact foreskin, on the other hand...

 

[Jon Arbuckle]

Suppose you didn't have a sick body and you were born under amicable circumstances.

Do you think you could do? Would you like to?

I'm sure I'd find a way to fuck it up somehow.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I'd have more energy to be a wage slave but I still wouldn't want to be a wage slave. I think that a massive reason why people don't contemplate suicide is because of delusion and, due to my neurotype, I'm not deluded when it comes to life and society. Therefore, even if I reincarnate into a different body but keep my memories, I'd still want to kill myself as I'd still know the truth

 

[SoulWhisperer]

If I have the same set of "skills" and characteristics then what would happen? It'd be a rewind of time simply. Reviving the suffering once again. So it's an hard pass for me.

 

[sorrowful]

I wouldn't want to remember anything.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

All this is hypothetical. I would say yes if everything happens exactly the way it did again and I know the crucial points in life where I have to make the exact opposite decision. In such a case I could better.

 

[Old]

No, I'd fuck up in exactly the same ways. With an intact foreskin, on the other hand...

I'm sorry they did that to you

 

[Ariii]

If I was rich and didn't have to dedicate decades of my entire life to working, then yes. Otherwise, probably not

 

[Forever Sleep]

Into the same life or, a different one? In either circumstances, maybe knowledge would help out in some regard but still- life is crammed full of shit! People dying, illnesses, bullies, failures. Some stuff is just unavoidable. I don't think knowledge stops you from grieving or feeling hurt or disappointed.

In a way, I've only become more cynical and pessimistic as I've grown older and felt like I understood the 'truth' of how unfair the whole set up is. Maybe it's better to be young and naive. Hope feels more realistic then.

 

[daysnumbered]

I would be wiser, but I would just mess up in different ways. A fresh start is no guarantee for a better life.

 

[CantDoIt]

Depends. I would clearly be a very intelligent baby and impress many people.

I mean yeah I would do better, make different mistakes, but couldn't possibly be as bad as the ones I already made.

 

[Nergalanii]

I would ctb to escape.

 

[Plentiful_Despair]

No. My suicidal feelings are not because of any regrets, I regret almost nothing and would live my life the same way. This world itself is the cause of my depressions, the never-ending suffering and pure evil that gets celebrated every fucking day. I can never be truly happy in a world that isn't like I want it to be.

 

[chester]

It sounds like the worst thing that could happen. I think the opposite could work for me. If my memory was wiped clean then maybe I would be able to want to live. As long as my memories are with me though, every morning I'm disappointed to wake up. If I were to start a new life with all this baggage, that would be hell!

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Not really. Especially not if I was reborn into modern times. The world is just such a different place from when I was a kid and I'm only 30. The landscape of media, culture, and so many other things I know about have changed completely. Even things like history and math are pretty different in school so I doubt I would be able to succeed academically so my previous knowledge literally doesn't matter. Having my old memories in a child's perspective would also probably just make me even more of a social outcast since I would not like so many things the kids of today love like Skibidi toilet, analog horror, and other stuff.
