Reincarnation

[vanillamilkshakes]

I started thinking "deeply" about this after watching the show "The Good Place" Although, they went to "heaven" I won't spoil the rest of the series...
I love the idea of starting a fresh new life, leaving all this pain and bad memories in this life. Having a second chance of living a normal life.

But honestly, that's all just fantasy. If reincarnation is real and souls are always being reborn, where all the new souls are coming from, especially since there used to be so many fewer people.

You were born into this world from seemingly nothing, so it suggests there is a non-zero chance of it happening again. Retaining memories, I think, is in the realm of fiction.

Other planets is the only explanation I think of it.

I think that reincarnation is also a fascinating concept that's repeated in many different cultures and I wonder why. I think thats very attractive to people the idea that our physical body is one thing but the spiritual body is something entirely different. It's attractive.

souls are neither created nor destroyed. it exists since time immemorial.

I really hope reincarnation doesn't exist. I don't want to continue being stuck in this world after having to put effort to get through this life. I also worry about the potential for the next life to be even worse than this one. I would prefer to not exist as I want to avoid all pain and the not have to fear losing good things. I just want nothingness.

I agree completely. I don't think for a second that the risk of having a life like this again is worth having for the chance of being normal and having a normal happy life. I wish every day that I was never born, and all I want is to disappear. I want my being and my body and my memories to become nothing and stay nothing.
