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™„

Think of how many people are alive today, and how many people you know that are living the best possible life. Considering the exponential increase in population we've seen, and the rarity of living the best possible life, the only conclusion I can come to is that, if reincarnation exists, you are far more likely to live in abject poverty than live a life of mediocrity, let alone the best possible life.

Make the best of what you have today, for tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
