So, let's say I died from a food allergy. Will the next life be immune ( this time you don’t kill me) , or will I have to avoid the cause of death even more?

example:

No allergic to that food or born in a place that food is rarely eaten?
Drowned : born as a better swimmer or born in a landlocked place?
Die of hypothermia: born adapted to colder climate or born in a warm place?

I keep seeing posts in several, even unrelated, subs where people ask others to reassure them that reincarnation isn’t real and that eternal oblivion is real instead. Why?

I understand the basic reasons, like having a bad life or being afraid that the next life could be even worse. I relate to both of those fears too. But another part of me still struggles to understand why some people would prefer eternal oblivion.

I don’t fully believe in reincarnation myself, and no story, NDEs, or book will ever convince me 100% until I'm dead.

But let’s pretend for a moment that reincarnation is actually real.

Even if there’s a risk that life could suck again, I wouldn’t remember my previous life anyway. And there’s also the possibility that the next life could be better — maybe one where I finally enjoy living. Physical life is temporary either way, so existence would just alternate between different experiences.

But eternal oblivion means that if your life was terrible, that’s it. Some people got a good life, others got a bad one, and nobody gets another chance.

I mean, if someone would rather have only one life, even if it was bad, and then have everything end forever, that’s their choice. But personally, I find it more comforting to believe that I might get a second chance someday.
