Reincarnation

Long time ago, I heard about reincarnation
it just clicked with me, and I've believed in it ever since
Recently, a new thread was added, after I read an article about sexual
identity
People claim that they're a woman in a man's body(or vice versa)
well of course, if you were reincarnated, your sex wouldn't necessarily
remain the same
What if the change was to teach you something? And with that, a new
thread was born
I arrived in Homestead, and added yet another
Why would you always reincarnate as human?
Of course the idea of coming back as an animal was something I'd heard
of, but always applied as a punishment, as if it were necessarily bad
form to return in
I always assumed that the Church would never except the idea of
reincarnation, I wonder if its true
Does it have to contradict their beliefs?
Why, born in sin, die in sin, suffer in purgatory for your sins, 'til
you go to heaven(been a long time since I went to church, has my memory
betrayed me?)
Why
Why couldn't you return, to learn, to grow, to better yourself?
Why couldn't you return, just because you prefer being mortal?
Sometimes, I wonder why I'm here
sometimes I feel like I can't learn anymore,
others I wonder why I would prefer being mortal,
And sometimes, I just wonder
