The curious mind explores ideas.
How many religions began long ago with acknowledged speculation that was then oversimplified, codified, dogmatized and enforced by less curious minds who decided it sounded right to them, so they were going to enshrine it?
Reincarnation seems to make sense when you observe the many forms of life in this world. I don't suggest that it is true, but it's amusing to consider.
A tiny worm called Osedax lives in the deep Pacific. This female creature eats the bones of dead whales, while, inside her, dwells a scrap of essential maleness, a little sperm factory living off a small supply of yolk. This male produces sperm until the prepared meals run out.
How can this not be the soul of the guy who lived only to get laid, who said, "I wanna die doing it, man." There he is, living the dream. Is it punishment or reward?
