Ever thought what it would feel like being an animal, or a tree, or a plant, or anything other than a human being?

Yes, actually. I do wonder if that will actually happen. After we die we may be reincarnated into something else or if we go to heaven or JUST ROT UNDERGROUND. But back to the question, yes >.>, i only do hope that i have the memories from being a human so i don't do anything moronic as an animal, or a tree, or a plant, or anything other than a human being

I laughed at ASLAN's answer. That was pretty good..hehehe anyways, what was the question again? Oh yeah, being something other than me...hmm. Well, I dont think a tree or something like that has a mind to be able to be aware of it's existence, you know what I mean? So I don't think I would enjoy being a tree. Being an animal like a bird or something would be pretty fun, though.

If you compare the lives of an everyday, normal human to an animal, tree, or other non-human organisms, ours seem to be a little more complicated with a mind the size of an infinite space. What you are referring to is reincarnation or something other such as meditation where the mind is tranquil and instead of being the person we are, we are someone or something else. By doing this, our mind is at peace and the more the mind is at peace, the more we gain "information" from the environment surrounding us.

I tried to think but you know it is very hard,because if you are something other than human being, you can not think. I mean this is like a paradox: I must think that I cannot think! So I think I can think that I am a creature which lives in a different planet and has the ability to think, there will be no problem.

No and I do not have the urge either.
I can relate to those entities but not ever imagine being one. The feelings are only compatible to the meaning of life in all things.

I imagine this all the time. When I think about how much I dont want to go to work or something, I think, you know being my dog would be a lot better...I mean all he does is lay around all day, bark at squirrels, crap and eat....thats the life!

I don't mean to sound corny here but I have been someone else for most of my life. The only time I was me was perhaps when I was a child before everyone started programming me in their own image. I have been someone else and now what would excite me the most is to be me.
