Every person who has said to me they had a former life it is always something grand,a prince or a chief .Nobody was ever the local pedofile or vegetable or village idiot.
DaveC426913 said:A rhetorical question I presume. Sort of answers itself for any rational person.
Actually, I have a similar take on the issue in a different forum: Why do films depict the last few centuries as wonderfully romantic? "Wouldn't it be nice to live in the Victorian era? All those beautiful clothes, opera outings and carriage rides?"
Yeah, well for every Tara, there's ten sweatshops...
Integral said:NOt everybody, in one of my former lives I carried a musket for Wellington, died in the mud marching to Waterloo.
In another I carried a Bow at Agincourt.
Well any way I had ancestors in the places where they may have done something like that! :rofl:

Evo said:On a rather sad note, one of the Evo child's best friends was told by a "medium" that he has always died in a previous life before the age of 21 in the military.
His parents have millions and he has been a burden to them and they sent him off to a military boarding school at the age of 14. I gave him a long distance credit card so he could call us from there.
Because of this "psychic" he feels dying in the military before age 21 is his destiny, so he has joined the marines and will be in Iraq in a couple of weeks. He told me he named his rifle after me.
I am devastated.
This is so brilliant, I think it's worth rewriting history so that this thread simply goes thus:radou said::rofl: :rofl:
Absolutely right. But still, it's self understood, since most people who could believe in such trash are actually village idiots, so it's normal that they 'want' to be princes, chiefs, or whatever in their former lives. :tongue:

People often view their former lives as good because of a phenomenon known as "rosy retrospection." This is a cognitive bias where people tend to remember the past in a positive light and overlook negative aspects. Additionally, we often compare our current lives to our former lives and only remember the positive aspects, leading to the belief that our former lives were better.
Yes, it is very common for people to romanticize their former lives. This can be due to nostalgia or a desire to escape from current stressors. However, it is important to remember that our memories are not always accurate and our former lives may not have been as perfect as we remember them to be.
Yes, our perception of our former lives can definitely change over time. As we grow and experience new things, our perspective and priorities shift. What we may have viewed as important or ideal in our former lives may not hold the same significance to us now.
Constantly dwelling on our former lives can lead to dissatisfaction and disappointment with our current lives. It can also prevent us from fully embracing the present and moving forward. It is important to find a healthy balance between remembering our past and living in the present.
One way to appreciate our current lives is to practice gratitude. Take time to reflect on the positive aspects of your current life and acknowledge the progress you have made. Also, try to focus on the present moment and make the most out of it. Finally, remember that our former lives were not perfect either and it is important to embrace the journey and growth that has led us to where we are now.
