If you believe in reincarnation, do you suppose at some point everyone gets to experience the very best life imaginable? (lemmy.world)

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! 🙄

This pre-supposes distinct 'souls'. There is only one soul, one 'awareness'. We are just fragments of that awareness.

THE awareness, the base Experencier of reality does experience the best life imaginable, and everything else.

Is the best life one without suffering, or one where suffering is experienced and then alleviated? That's a better question.

No obviously if the pleasures of earthly life was as good as that of the afterlife, that would defeat the purpose of afterlife. Every emotion and second you experince in the afterlife is emplified thousands of times worth of how it is now. Like I said otherwise, it will not be worth it to even be fair or good to anyone in life. So I'd rather steal from and hurt everyone for my pleasure now since the best possible senario in an afterlife is that I'd be rewarded with the same pleasure I restrained and deprived myself from now.
