I was thinking today about what happens when we die. Obviously, no matter what theory of afterlife you believe in, nobody will be able to tell you what happens after you die. Then, I realized something.

Even though every ounce of atheist was screaming at me “REINCARNATION IS A LIE”, I was thinking about how cool it would be.

Honestly, even if we didn’t know that we had come back to life as something else, wouldn’t it be nice to live life as something else? It would certainly be better than just losing your state of being, which is technically what I believe. There is just something about being able to try again at life that seems appealing to me.

Which brings up another thing: What happens to your consciousness, your state of being, your identity? If I came back to life as someone else, would I have the same personality? Do your thoughts just die with your body, do you just cease to exist? Obviously, you wouldn’t realize that you had stopped thinking if you did, but…gah.

This post probably doesn’t make sense any more, but oh well. I felt like posting it. :O
