Edit: Goddamnit will one of you please comprehend my question and give a relevant response.

I didn't ask whether or not you think souls are real or what you think about Buddha

This is not a creative writing prompt nor a place for you to pontificate your religious ponderings! ๐Ÿ™„

I'm atheist so my understanding may be slightly off, but from what I've gathered. Reincarnation is a bad thing. Reaching enlightenment is the end goal and breaks the process of Reincarnation. The goal is not a perfect life. It's breaking the cycle.

In Buddhism, yes.

For Hindus, well, it's complicated.

For other people who happen to believe in reincarnation?
That would be anybodys guess, I guess.
