This. People just should enjoy their life. Err..that's what I ought to do too.

Agreed.
That is an amazing book also

I wish it was true.

I would love to believe it but I just don't know! It's definitely one of the most interesting religious concepts.

I came here to post this. Even if we could reincarnate ourselves in other species, how is it that millions of years ago there was almost nothing?

There was life millions of years ago. Unicellular organisms have existed for billions of years.

Here's a good read for those of you really interested in an afterlife:

Also, just because the population on Earth grows exponentially doesn't mean it's the only place where there is life. It could come from a different location across the universe, or there's also a possibility where new souls are born.

Reincarnation means that one will have to go through the endless cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth until he is finally able to liberate from it. How is that comforting? If anything, reincarnation should be avoided and stopped. It's moksha that should be achieved, not reincarnation.

Not really no. And it doesn't really matter one way or another, because we can't remember our other life if it does exists, we have no idea what happens when we die, so we just lay there, blank. Nothing. Is life truly over. Or do we start again, we shall never really know. It's kind've scary. I really wouldn't want to start all over again, and be someone else. and do it all over again tbh. It'd feel like some sick game. But us not remembering, i guess. But I really can't be bothered to go through being a teenager again

Short answer: No
