Not a debate on reincarnation....

Now that I'm getting close to the end of my time here, I have started asking myself that question. I only have to detach myself from my personal situation and look at the world around me, to answer 'yes'. Just being in this world, being part of what is happening makes the unpleasantness worthwhile.
We all have a negative aspect to our lives, difficulties we have to deal with. If we can step back from that and see ourselves as part of a whole, it gives us a different perspective.

No, I wouldnt want to return to this mortal coil and am okay with facing my departure when it comes. Could be anytime and sudden and I hope I dont suffer and burden my family. Personal cicumstances as they are Ive become world-weary and just want some peace and the world is changing and in many ways not to my liking
 
I think I'll pass I might not be so lucky the next time.

I would, and I will. Not to this world, but to a new and perfect world in a new and perfect body. Guaranteed!

"Then I saw 'a new heaven and a new earth,' for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea"
Revelation 21:1
 
I’ve always believed in reincarnation, I have no idea why, it was never discussed in my family & i‘ve never discussed it with anyone before. if I had a choice I’d like to be myself in the roaring 20’s , hmm, I wonder if I’ve been there before? Whenever anyone asks questions about traveling to the future or past I always pick the 20’s

Problem with the Roaring 20s is that they ushered in the Great Depression. No thanks.

Yesterday, whilst sitting around feeling sorry for myself because I have the great grandaddy of all colds and feel just generally wretched, I remembered reading somewhere that just by the accident of being born into western civilization at the point in history that I was, my life was easier, more comfortable, safer and healthier than the vast majority of the people who have ever lived, Probably true, I thought as I scrunched down in my fuzzy blanket in my recliner, under my new roof, enjoying the nice warmth in my house and sipping my tea and thinking about whether to have chicken or fish for dinner.

Nope, I don't think I want to take the luck of the draw again!
 
Assuming that I had a choice I don't think I'd want to come back as "fill in the blank". I think that cheapens the life you have led. If this is your 152nd go around at this life thing then what's the difference in living life like a human or a duck? I know it's a light hearted as an "if" question, but I don't think I'd like to come back as anything.
 
I have to say I'm taken aback by all those , who don't want to come back. I don't believe in reincarnation, but I thought most would want to come back, even if they didn't believe in the concept . Huh? I guess one go around is way more than enough?
