Have you ever wondered if there really second lives? I mean, after death..you'll be born again but with a new personality and life. would you rather like to be a royalty? a princess or prince maybe..? a celebrity? a very famous scientist? or would you like to live your life like what you really have now? I'd like to still live like this except for having my illness and having my childhood body scars because i really am so very active then..I like climbimg trees, disobeying my parents etc..lol how about you?

It would be very tempting to become one. But If given a chance to come back again, I would still want to be myself, the simple guy. I can perhaps change the things that I wanted to do, and correct the errors or decisions I made in life and keep still the things I have done right. Moreover, love the very same people I love now, the second time around. I think that would be a great second life. Best to you!

Well I still have dreams to fullfil and more plans in my mind. But this does not mean that I don't love my life and also that I am contented. Being content is good but sometimes it may put you in a stagnant basis. Well just keep on dreaming and look for ways to fullfill that dream. That way our life will always be exciting and worth living again and again. Best to you!

When I was a kid i would have dreamt about being a royalty. Now I'm sure I would not. Not even a celebrity. I'd rather be a simple person who gets to enjoy the simple things in life and help out wherever I can.

That's the best answer I've read. That's really great that you have a mind like that. being content with what you have is really a great and awesome thing. That's a good perception in living life.. being content with simple yet satisfying things in the world and in life. ..

If i had another life, I want to be a HAPPY person..thinkn about it, what more do u want in life than be happy?? one more point, i want to be happy without hurting anyone ( so i wont be a happy terrorist!) ppl stupidly make the mistake of choosing to be some1 whom they think is perfection. Now royalty is perfection na? money in plenty, and u dont have ot do much, rt? think again, life isnt being rich, famous and powerful. Does charles look like a happy bloke to you?? I would rather be a happy anything rather than a depressed billionare!

it's really quite difficult to detach from your past. That's your wish..well maybe for a good karma that can be given a chance..

Oh yeah I'd love to be royalty in China! I think it would be great to have so many treasures within reach. People around the world would pay homage to me as well. And I like the idea of having a grand burial. Although it's a bit unfortunate that many grave robbers steal valuables from imperial tombs, the idea still appeals to me. And I don't like being mummified, so it's China for me. :)

Well on one hand, being born into royalty in a second life can make up for a very crappy, poor first life like one i'm living in right now. If I am born into royalty in the second life, I can have all that I want and live the wealthy life I always dreamed of in the first. But on the other hand, there's always scandals, rumors, controversies, the papparazzi, the cameras, all of it following you around like a bad stink, and there goes your sense of privacy unless something's done about it. That's one thing that I still have in the first life, and hopefully will try to find some in the second. So in short, a royal second life does have a downside, but the upsides can make up for it with vestige and power.

I would not because when you think about it royalty is always in the public eye. You would have no privacy. I like my privacy. I am happy with my life and where I am at today.

not now, they are too followed with the press these days which make their lives crazy. however, i would like to have their money. what i would like to be is a famous writer or historian, no one would be following you around like a celeb!

Too much danger of getting beheaded, stabbed in the back or poisoned if I were royalty back not so long ago. And now, too many boring responsibilities. Maybe independently wealthy so I could do more or less whatever I wanted...

It is so interesting if I can become a royalty. If I become a royalty I can have lot things except freedom. So if I have a second life also like to life what I have now. I think wonderful life is easy to take whether you discover it or not.

If there is really a second life then I want to be born in a royal family, like Prince William or Prince Harry of the royal family of England. I think their life is very exciting. I just want to be a king even for a day.

Hmmm...I don't think I'd like to be a royal at all. Or a major celebrity. But maybe someone of extreme talent, like an artist or musician. That would be good. I don't think I'd want to change who I was, so much as make sure that I was someone who was not afraid to sieze on opportunities that presented themselves. After all, as they say, you regret the things you didn't do the most.

Well I still would like to be a magician when I come back from the afterlife to live again. I really love entertaining and mystifying people with magic and of course I would like to see people smile because they had fun with it.

In my second life, I'd probably be anything but a celebrity or a famous person on that matter. The limelight doesn't strike my interest that much. I think being one will only complicate my life. I'd prefer to live my second life as an ordinary human being, much like who I am right now. =)

Yes, me too, often wondered if I was a royalty in the past.LOL!I always felt I am part of the royal world. I loved everything about the royalty, in fact I did several research about their lives. I also dreamed to write a book about the British Monarchy. I even published numerous blogs about them, if you want to read all those blogs please send me a private message, I am afraid it is not allowed here to promote a blogsite. There's something about the royalty that I liked most, maybe their fairytale existence and be called Princess, very magical indeed. I don't believed in reincarnation because the Catholic church discouraged it, but sometimes, I think I am one of Czar Nicholas II slain daughters because everytime I read their painful history my heart feels like bleeding for their murders. It sounds funny but I wished the Russian revolutionists, did not massacred them and just abandoned in the ural mountain instead. I think I was Grandduchess Maria (LOL!anyway just a feeling). The last Russian Emperor was a relative to the current European royalty. Czar Nicholas II was the son of Princess Dagmar of Denmark who became Empress Marie when she married Czar Alexander III of Russia, Dagmar was the sister to both Kng George I of Greece (grandfather of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh)and Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward VII of Britain (great grandparents of Queen Elizabeth II), they were both children of King Christian IX of Denmark. I loved royalty, and I can talk endlessly about their lives.
