If reincarnation exists, you could do the same thing the next life and have no memories of it. Think of all the bad things that happened to you, it can happen OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

I remember the first time when I was a kid and went to a dentist. I got my baby teeth pulled without anesthesia. It hurts, ALOT. At the time I remembered thinking: But if I die, I have to do that again? Noooooo

Same thing with all the bullying in school, all the embarassing things that happen, all the homework/classwork, all the tests, everything.

IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!

Think you got your worldview and political ideology correct? Well, you could become a bad person the next life.

(but hey, this is just a theory, ~~a game theory~~ an existential crisis theory)

(Sorry if this sounds so bizzare, I’m not high or anything, I just have anxiety and I have to get weird thoughts out of my head by posting it 🫠)

For those interested, this is in many ways teh premise of Buddhism. At least trying to break this reincarnation circle.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
Posts must be original/unique
Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS
