Discussion Would you want to be reincarnated?

[pluvio]

I feel like a state of nothingness would be my ideal conclusion. No pain, no ego, just cut to black.

The concept of any afterlife seems subpar to me, mainly because I can't really come to terms with what eternity means.

Reincarnation seems somewhat bit appealing at first, but the gamble is who you end up as. There are far too many terrible human experiences to make the odds worthwhile in my opinion. Even getting lucky with an easy life wouldn't change the problems I have with the world as a whole - especially if there is any "me" left in the new body. And if there is any me left, I know I would be miserable just like now.

Like you said, statistically speaking, if any of us get reincarnated we'd more than likely end up worse off than we are now. I can admit that as much as I hate my country, I'm privileged enough to have not been born in a third world country at least. Controversially I would actually like to be reincarnated if there would be a guarantee that I would be born into a life that fixed most of my problems. I think that I would probably struggle with depression still, but it wouldn't be at the level that it is now, especially if I had a good support system in this hypothetical life.

I love gambling! This reincarnation will be the one you'll see!

 

[PsychedeliaSuicide]

Yes! I would like to be reincarnated as a beautiful butterfly! = )

 

[lpdsvm]

Gambling is less risky than reincarnation. No way. I prefer nothingness.

 

[EDDIESTERS]

well, its really a gamble. if i could be reincarnated as animal that would be pretty cool... but then again most animals suffer like humans do, and by humans so id likely become a pack of meat in the grocery store.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

No. I have seen what this world has to offer, and I don't want to be a part of it in any way, shape, or form.

 

[The Eternal One]

No, never, under any circumstance, not happening.
The cycle of reincarnation is hell everyone's been talking about for centuries: godless existence for the purpose of meaningless entertainment.
I'm no gambler or savior and I feel numb to physical pleasures of this world. The Void of Nothingness it is. I just want to go Home.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, never, all I want is the peace of non-existence where this torturous, futile existence that I just always saw as a mistake is finally all gone and forgotten, to me existence will just always be an abomination that just causes all of this cruelty, pain and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured and to suffer in this existence will always be so deeply undesirable in every way. All that existence ever does is just torture existing beings and if it's up to me I'd just choose to erase this existence so it's like I never suffered at all, non-existence truly is all I see as positive in this existence of terrible torturous suffering that just never should had been imposed at all.

 

[BirdWatcher]

I gues it would be funny to get reincarnated as a stereotypical isekai hero and go on adventures with your harem of catgirls or whatever. But no, I would not want to be reincarnated. I just want to cease existing.

 

[Tomorrow Is Today]

It would be cool to get reincarnated. If I could choose I'd tone down my dreaming a tad bit. It's the constant desire for something more that's ironically been the source of much of the dissatisfaction in life. Maybe I'd reincarnate as a simple bird or something, all I'd worry about is getting food and flying around

 

[Passenger4224]

Only way I'd want to is if I was reincarnated as a fly. Just annoying the living shit out of people until I get squished.

If I did actually believe in it, I still wouldn't be worried, being born as literally anyone else would be an upgrade from who I am right now

 

[SASU-KE]

In Dat sweet isekai style,yes.sign me up.beam me up.

 

[itsgone2]

No. Keep me away from this awful place.

 

[Exhausted546]

I'd want to be me again if I could, I'd just move out at 21.

Although I wouldn't want to be born at an earlier time in history. Or in a place where I have no prospects

 

[zoidberg]

As an atheist, I see this as a nonsensical question. After death, the body is just biological compost quickly colonized by the bacteria already present in the body. There's no mind or existence after this for the previously living being.

 

[WPeregrine]

To redo life in a less dystopian time than this age we live in, seems not a bad proposition. Or perhaps I'd come back as a pigeon and shit all over humanity...

 

[Canto XIII]

Only if I were guartanteed a reality which functions in dramatically different ways than our own. That's impossibile, of course, but reincarnation itself is.

 

[Captive_Mind515]

Hell no !!! I'd burn the entire place down before I leave if it was up to me. The thought of coming back here is disturbing….

 

[hughmun9]

Maybe. If it's completely random then no, that sounds hell-ish.

 

[usernamey]

Sure. New life with a new brain haha, I'm open to keep this thing going, but as a human pls or at least something that doesn't get violently eaten, like a very large bird or an orca
