Reincarnation: God's Justice

by [Sunny Silverunicorn]



Reincarnation is something that exists in many religions and is denied in others. In my own religion, Islam, it’s said that reincarnation doesn’t happen, or exist. But I personally think that this believe that it’s all a misinterpretation. Reincarnation does exist. (So this is the type of article you’d want to read, if you didn’t believe in reincarnation, or doubted it.)

Why? Well there are a number of reasons to it, that I can count, but the most interesting and logical of all, is this: God’s Justice.

I have decided to explain this, in two categories: One is the justice between all human kind (Based on the kind of life we experience), and another one, justice of one human (compared to himself, and what he gets in return for what he does).

In experiences:

Yes, that’s what I have ended up with. You see, people are born to lead one of the three main roads of life; Good, OK, and Bad. These three have a wide saturation range. Some stay in one spot their whole lives, some change which road they walk on, and so on. All of these experience aspects of life, that others may not be aware of. Like someone who has been born to live a good life, would never understand what misery means, and the opposite is true also; a poor and unhappy person, doesn’t really understand what the happiness rich people feel is. When you haven’t experienced something, you can’t understand how you’d feel ‘without’ it.
I know by now you’re saying what does all this have to do with God’s justice, and you’d think I have gone astray, but no, just keep on reading and you’ll be enlightened.

No matter which type of life we have, it’s only justice that we experience other kinds just to be equal with our kins, with all humankind. You might say, so like that heaven and hell would lose meaning, as everyone would be equal, but I say no. We are equal in what we experience, but not equal in what way we decide to experience something, or what result we’ll get out of an experience. It’s all based on what we decide, a personal decision, and that’s with what we’re judged upon.

In return:

Reincarnation, is a way that God gets back to us for what good or bad we’ve done in a past life. Imagine a serial killer, or a criminal or highest evil mind. If they’re lucky, they’ll keep doing what they do, without getting caught, in which case their punishment will have to wait until the end of days, or they might get convicted and be sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment, or even maybe be executed. But does conviction or execution really equals what they have done? Does executing a serial killer who has taken many lives, bring back their victims? Or does taking his single life, account for the many he has wasted? Well, no. He’ll have to burn in hell for all eternity until his sins are cleaned, right? Does that sound like the almighty and just God? Hadn’t we always said he was the kindest of fathers? Letting even one of his creations to burn in hell would be so unlike him. He punishes, but as a last resort. Imagine a mother, who has a unruly kid. Does she quickly punish her child for what bad he/she has done? Or does she give them a second chance? I think we all know the answer. Humans, are God’s children, they break rules, they defy their maker, but still, before the final punishment, they’re given a second chance, or maybe even a third or fourth. That’s God saying go live once again, and prove that you can be different, that you can lead a better life. Still, no one knows if they’d succeed or fail.

And that’s the two explanations of why God’s justice won’t let a being to have one single life, end with what good or bad experience and trail it has, and head for the unite end of all. (Which I again doubt is the end end! ;p)
