Writer's Block: In a Former Life
Nope, don't believe in it. If I did, then clearly in my past life I was the woman whose face they modelled the Sphinx on, the sixth Spartan back at the battle of Thermopylae, the man who shot William Rufus in the New Forest, and the inventor of sliced bread.
Except I wasn't, because I don't believe in it. Dayum, I don't want to come back here once I'm done! What if you were a survivor of the black death after all your family was wiped out, a slave, a victim of ethnic cleansing, abused by your family your whole life, horribly disabled in a time before painkillers. And you had to keep coming back!!!
I'm quite surprised by how many people said they do believe in it, actually. That's interesting. Seems to me that if reincarnation is true, then it's not working. Atrocities still happen, age to age - humans aren't getting any better. That's why I believe in a Saivour, because any supreme being with their eyes open could see this world needs one. And I want to stick with him when I die, I don't particularly want to come back here.
