Discussion if you can choose your next life ...

[Alpenglow]

If I were reborn as a human I'd just try to find more ppl like me and be there for them. Maybe I wouldn't be so lonely.

If I were reborn as an animal I'd want to be a swan, they're pretty and majestic, and wrapping their necks around eachother is adorable ^^

Why are you asking me? I don't believe in any of that stuff. I merely wished for a better place just as a hopeful longing, not because i believe it exists.

Sorry, ididn't mean to be asking you. I was directing those questions to whoever will be making the decisions.

Suffering is inherent and relative in life. So my answer, no life at all. Life itself is a crude force created from a crude process (evolution).

I don't want to be an animal. I want to be as far away as possible from human harm and evil. So, I hope there's no next life but if I had to choose, I would go with an insect since they are so small and are the least affected by our evil. Animals are the least lucky — they are so helpless. I would never want to be as helpless at the presence of humans.

A bird or a lazy cat. Maybe a bird because they are really free and can fly. Cats cannot fly... But human, NO !!

I hope reincarnation isn't real. But in case it is, I'd like to be some sort of fungus

 

[lasttogo]

I would like to be anything that is not a human.

I want to be able to decompose normally. Fuck embalming, fuck caskets. I could be fuel for worms and mushrooms and the animals that feed on them. Working my way up the food chain, being a piece of everything; that's the closest thing to real reincarnation.

To actually engage with the hypothetical: I wouldn't want another life. Even being a spoiled dog or cat means depending on a human, who could be a total scumbag in all other aspects. I'm done with that. I'm tired of coexisting with evil.

Maybe I could be a deep sea creature. I could hide in the dark forever, and they would never discover me.

This is going to make me sound extremely shallow, but I want to be reborn in a 1st world country with rich parents and a large, loving family. Why? Because those kinds of people get the best start in life.

I grew up extremely poor with neglectful parents.

Human, 500 years from now. And it better be a cyberpunk hellscape.

 

[yawdrareg]

i don't care what it's like, i just hope that in the next life—if there is one—that i am able bodied and am able to live a day to day life without pain.

If I get to choose my next life, it'd either be non-existence or as myself again... but with different parents, better physical health, sharper mental health, innate understanding of human nature, unlimited money and wealth, longer lasting health, and a peaceful death. I wouldn't want to be an animal.

 

[Vorty30]

I'd rather stick to not existing, thank you!

 

[Forveleth]

Nothing. I do not want to exist anymore.

 

[WhatCouldHaveBeen32]

I get born and the first thing I meet is a shotgun barrel. This sounds like a looney tunes gag if they were an 18+ show , haha.

Interesting question.

If I could choose my next life, I would want to be a human again, but I would want things to be very different. I wouldn't want to be autistic. I would hope in a next life I would be confident, outgoing, and somebody people would like to be around. Someone who exerts a very positive aura.

This sort of ties in to thoughts I often have where I lament over my past, and I frequently, desperately wish that I could go back in time and do things right. I wish I could use the knowledge I have now to try and fix everything that went wrong in my life that has led me to where I am now.

More than anything I would just hope that in my next life I can just be happy. At the very least, I want to hope that my next life will be better than this life.
