Having different identity and personality life after life. Worth considering. Its really worth asking. Its one of the wonders of this life. What's your opinion?

Yes i do. Reincarnation is a powerful force in eastern philosophy, but western views seem to be limited to the possibility of coming back as an animal or a sensationalistic interest in past lives. Stories about the cleaner who was Queen Elizabeth I in a former life or the teacher who was Elvis are treated as a joke story for the tabloids. Now England football coach Glenn Hoddle has hit the headlines with his theory on the laws of karma. Hoddle, who describes himself as a Christian, told The Mirror that the belief of reincarnation made more sense to him than the idea that life's inequalities were simply "the luck of the draw". But his reported view that people born with disabilities may be paying for sins committed in a previous life may cost him his job. Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists all embrace elements of reincarnation and karma. There is a strong belief that your actions in the current life are stored and have a spiritual consequence on the next. It is believed that if you dedicate your life to helping others, for example, you build up good karma and will be rewarded in the next life - and vice versa.

It depends on what your beliefs are and what your religion believes.

I don't really know..I still have a lot of questions regarding this. Isn't it unfair that you can do wrong during this lifetime, but only your next life gets the punishment? Or if you're suffering this lifetime, it's because in your previous lifetime, that you have been doing evil deeds? It's quite mind-boggling!
