Life is short. And we don't discover this until we are nearing the end, if we are lucky. For some, the end just sneaks right up on them, cutting their already-moments-in-the-frame-of-existence into mere heartbeats.
And yet so much time is wasted on meaningless ventures. Or pointless hopes. Or tasks which we assign ourselves that don't further anything but the imagined value-ers created by humans (money, age, technology....)
So yes, I would like to imagine that reincarnation is a thing.
I would like to think that we are able to continue existing and learning throughout forever.
I want to continue growing and improving for the rest of everdom and if I'm sitting around in the afterlife, I find that impossible to do. Everyone says that heaven is perfection---how utterly boring.
Perfection means there is nothing to accomplish.
Nothing to work towards.
Everything has been created and attained and now it's all about just enjoying that "perfection".
I say nay.
I love creating and making and growing and being. I never want to exist in a state of stasis, even if that pause is supposed to be perfect. I didn't work to attain that perfection, so I can't even be proud of it.
Heaven for me would be an endless and all-incorporating task of improvement and creation with no stress about money or deadlines.
So, basically, art without the added stressors.
