People have always wondered what if anything lies beyond the grave. Is death the end of existence, an entry into eternity or an intermission between earthly lives?
Reincarnation offers hope to many. If we don't get it right in this life, we have another chance the next time around. Yet, even those who believe in reincarnation admit that the vast majority of humans do not remember their previous lives. How can we learn from our past mistakes if we cannot remember them? We seem to make the same mistakes over and over again. Given the moral failure rate of human history, do we have any reason to hope that we will get it right in a future lifetime?
Can reincarnation realistically offer hope and a sense of justice to a troubled world? And what comfort does it offer regarding the nagging problem of death?

You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!

Storm, why didnt you post this in Philosophy forum
This is one of the great philosophical question everyone, from Stoics to Sceptics have adressed.
I personaly am a great believer in reincarnation. I believe in Karma, therefore i believe in reincarnation. My belief is that there is no such a thing as Hell, and if there is, then we are in it right now, as the whole life is suffering, birth is suffering, death is suffering, illnes is suffering, not having what you want is suffering, being separated from what you love is sufering, working every day of your life for a moment of happyness, is suffering, dying of our loved ones is suffering....we all endure these things...all of us do. I believe we are reborn over and over again.

offer hope? it's what keeps some people going in India ... to get a better life in the next one
would be fun of course if you can keep getting reincarnation: N.E.R.D.: No one Ever Really Dies
bleh....we'll never find out, now will we?..alive anyway
funny you should psot this, storm....just the other day i saw a news about a lady that could swear her son was reincarnated in her dog...because the freakin mut could actually say 'mama' (and he really could, to my surprise....freak of nature ). the whole thing seemed ridiculous....irrelevant, though.
i don't believe in reincarnation...not withour proof anyway .
Simply because... it's very nonsense.
I still believe in the Bible.
..coz it has the answer on what happens to a person when he dies...
...and that is not definitely reincarnation. There's no such thing in the Bible.
I believe in reincarnation - I was a really bad dog in my past life and have been sent to pay by being brought back as a human!
Seriously though doesnt it freak you out when someone goes under regresive hypnosis and starts spouting off about things they used to do in a previous life?
