Answer 1

Let's examine this question carefully.

First, I'm not sure what the meaning is, based on the wording. Did you mean reincarnation rather than rebirth? Being reborn doesn't necessarily require death. So I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to be an animal instead of human? If so, join the club.

I will, for the sake of brevity, assume you meant being born as an animal after your death.

So, to answer that question; you now have to examine what is meant by benefits. Are these general benefits? Easy. Are these specific benefits to you? Impossible to answer, except by you.

So, for the sake of brevity once more, I will assume you meant general, non-specific benefits. And by benefits, I will assume you meant positive attributes and consequences. I will also assume that you mean benefits when compared to being born human.

I will also assume that since you didn't mention disadvantages or anything else negative, that you only want to know what the possible positive consequences might be, not the negative consequences.



So, to answer the question:

Being born as an animal, rather than as a human, has many benefits. You are truly free for one. You aren't born into a life of responsibility, you are born into a life where you have total and true free will. This is of course, within the bounds of what you must do to survive.

As an animal, you are not subject to the kinds of stresses that humans are. You don't have to worry about not making enough money. You don't have to worry about going to jail for doing something illegal. You don't have to worry about much of anything but surviving.

As an animal, at least, most animals, you are also better in touch with your emotions and your fellow creatures. Many species of animals experience each other more intimately. For example, wolves are very physical animals. The entire pack greets each other at least once or twice a day. Body contact is prolific in this activity. Emotions are expressed by body language and gesturing, often involving contact, rather than voiced or written down or other non-personal forms of communication.

Also, as an animal, you have a different perspective on life. Your lifetime is much shorter, so you see less of what humans do to your world. You don't have to experience the hardship of seeing humans destroy your habitat; unless it happens to happen in a way that directly and immediately affects you, such as if a development displaces or even kills wildlife. In this regard, you are free from the responsibility of having to think about such things, and free from the stress as well.

The list goes on; but it is important to note that these benefits come with tradeoffs. I won't go into those, because you didn't ask about them. I'm sure with a little thought, you can reason through to some of those tradeoffs.

Answer 2

very reliable question as a good type of human beings do no longer comprehend this. God had already recommended Abraham that from Isaac ought to come an awesome u . s . a .. So, if he died that doesn't have got here about. God grew to change into into the in problem-free words that recommended Abraham to kill Isaac. That grew to change into good right into a attempt of Abraham's faith in God. He handed with flying colorings as he had Isaac waiting as a burnt providing and then a ram shown up. Jehovah God does no longer enable it to take position. it truly is a few element it particularly is taken out of context each and each and every and each and each and every of the time. to seem at it with discernment is what's needed good the following to get the component of it. the component is: Abraham grew to change into into dedicated to God and grew to change into into prepared to do in spite of He recommended him to do. we are to be an same contained in the reducing-part. no longer problem-free i pay interest to, yet seem how Abraham or per chance pastime grew to change into into examined. we produce different themes in our lives contained in the reducing-part that attempt our faith. would all persons be so dedicated purely by reality the guy adult males of previous were to Jah.

Answer 3

I love animals, but I also love being one of them. I think a simple life style would be wonderful, but I also love being able to communicate with people a gazillion miles away and I love to figure out complex issues. The joys in life don't come from wishing it to be easier. The joys in life come from encountering a problem and overcoming it!

Answer 4

Heck! That's easy. A male would be a Rooster or a Bull. A rooster has alot of fun in the henhouse. A bull has alot on a cow to have fun with.

Answer 5

The Scriptures say that "It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the Judgment." Why research past lies?

Answer 6

None, and it will never happen. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. We will go to Heaven or Hell, we won't be back with past lives.

Answer 7

None, animals don't have souls. So when you died as the animal, you would be barred from the afterlife. Of course if you were a cat, you could lick yourself.

Answer 8

No more homework, no more books, no more teachers with dirty looks. (yeah I know that's from that one loony toons cartoon where the kid turns into a dog)

Answer 9

If I was a canine, I could lick ... um... *coughs*

That is, I mean, it'd be neat to have whiskers! Yeah... whiskers...

Answer 10

None
