If you do not know that you have lived before and will live again in another body, this question will seem bizarre. Those who understand the intelligence of the universe know the nature of the question and are probably applying their wisdom in day-to-day activities. Yet, for all of his beautiful brilliance, Mr James Watson at 79! does not understand this fundamental fact. Mr Watson may choose to return to Earth and be one of those pupils who, because of "inferior DNA," just can't seem to learn (Ritter).

Mr Watson, let us be careful with what we think, say, and do from now on! If you learn to control your thoughts with the same degree of exactness as you did with those DNA experiments, you would be a great person as well as a great scientist.

Thank you for your magnificent contribution to science. I am one of those inferior beings you spoke of recently.

I guess you should just try your best in this lifetime but not get down when you find you can't exceed your expectations. I wish I did not need billions of lifetimes to be as good or as knowledgable and wise as I want to be but then if I did know everything and could do everything with brilliance....what next?

I don't believe in any kind of afterlife or reincarnation myself. I think emotionally mature and responsible people should be good solely for the sake of goodness without any need of a bribe of heaven or threat of hell.

That said, unfortunately there are quite a few emotionally immature and/or irresponsible people who do need some sort of carrot-and-stick incentives. It's a pity, but we humans are still a rather immature species, still in the process of emerging from our more barbaric past.

Inferior to what?

Nobody....that's NOBODY knows if they've lived in a past life, but, pretending for a second that such an occurance could, in fact, exist....they wouldn't be able to recollect it, because they weren't themselves, lol.
I can appreciate the fascination of your question, and, because YOU can appreciate the glory and beauty that is LIFE....you are not inferior.

People have vivid dreams of their past lives.But I don't think they should let it effect the new life that they live now.

if there is a next life we will be ready for it
if not we have lost nothing by having been good
