I always get a great chuckle at the folks who pretend that this idea of being alive is this great miserable thing, and that imagining and fantasizing about being reborn as something else or someone else is this great terrible thing. They are lying to themselves. We all want to be alive. If we didn't want to be alive, we would all kill ourselves and be done with it. Even a person who is suffering badly from cancer, in extreme pain, doesn't want to die, even the ones who commit suicide. They just want to live without pain. I find it to be simply outrageous and preposterous to claim that anyone wants off this proposed "merry-go-round" of reincarnation. If it were true, that would be just fine by me. I like being alive, even with all its warts, it's great. I would welcome reincarnation, whatever the "rulez". Dung Beetle? Intestinal parasite? Sure. Give it to me. I wouldn't want to get off the merry-go-round. To think that people really do is a fundamentally absurd and stupid idea.
