Reincarnation

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?

maybe we learn from it on a subcontinous level ?

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.

😂

Seriosly though... I'm a fully pledged supporter of this idea... I can only hope it's true as well 😄

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 😛.

I read somwhere, few cases of people thinking that their family member reincarnated into an animal of some kind 😕

I believe in reincarnation. Call me crazy but... I swear my old dog is reincarnated in my horse...

The soul of your dog (or whoever he/she was before being a dog) must have been horrible in his/her privious life...to be a dog than a horse 🙁

Well actually he's pretty well off for a horse... But yeah you're right ✅

You're never gonna believe this. have you heard about some guy who married a Barbie doll thinking it was his deceased wife reincarnated?

Funny stuff, huh?

😑 Someone can reincarnate only into something living though.

🤨 THAT'S stupid...

yeah..well...people do lots of stuff with inflated dolls 😉...barbie or not 😛

😑 I didnt need that visual! 😂

Anyway, I think Buddhist idea of reincarnation and life is super cool!😄

I think if anything happens when we're dead, it's reincarnation. But, I still don't really believe in it.

I just couldn't believe in REINCARNATION. ❌

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 do not believe in reincarnation 😖 though I dunno if we'll ever find out 😱

lol you say reincarnation is simply nonsence

becuase the bible says so 😆 lol the bible is nonsence

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?
