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! 🙄

    Think of how many people are alive today, and how many people you know that are living the best possible life. Considering the exponential increase in population we’ve seen, and the rarity of living the best possible life, the only conclusion I can come to is that, if reincarnation exists, you are far more likely to live in abject poverty than live a life of mediocrity, let alone the best possible life.

    Make the best of what you have today, for tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

        Even if that were the case, one perfect lifetime amongst an infinite amount of lives that, statistically, were primarily spent in abject poverty misery, is still an infinite amount of suffering.

        Imagine living in severe pain for your whole life with the belief that all that suffering would be worth it for one second of absolute bliss. That’s insane.

                Oh, you’re the psycho with the van that pees in a bottle, from the post you deleted earlier. Fuck, you were right. You are toxic as hell.

        My goofy theory is that we are in a simulation, and we go through every life once. Round robin style. That way, when they end the simulation, no one can complain that they had a worse time than someone else. Everyone gets one go around as each person. One time you are the poor guy skinned alive by barbarians, and one time you are some rich billionaire with more money than brains. Then, when the simulation is over, who knows.
