If you believe in reincarnation, do you suppose at some point everyone gets to experience the very best life imaginable? - eviltoast

Edit: Goddamnit will one of you please comprehend my question and give a relevant response.

I didn’t ask whether or not you think souls are real or what you think about Buddha

This is not a creative writing prompt nor a place for you to pontificate your religious ponderings! 🙄

    In case the reincarnations go on forever, then yes, I think the best life is inevitable. I’m amazed. I’ve thought about this concept in the past, but I always imagined the negative consequences - everyone would have to experience the very worst suffering there is. The fact that you took it from the positive side is mindblowing to me. Good for you!

      Yes, you get it! 😍 I thought of it from the positive angle because I know a man who is living this idyllic life right now, He was born into the best possible circumstances with the best family and the best education and the best wealth and love and opportunities and lives in the most beautiful place in the world, and I’ve told him a few times, he is living the best life known to human potential.

      And he’s humble too so he hasn’t fully embraced my lofty assessment of him 😄

      But I think his circumstances are one in a billion and I’ve told him he is living his peak incarnation right now!

        I love your optimistic take. You were born with a brain capable of positive thinking, which, unfortunately, doesn’t happen to everyone. Enjoy your stay in this body 😊
