​What if Reincarnation is real in our human lives?

​     What would any afterlife look life if humans could come back from the dead?  This is an interesting answer to pose.
                It would be interesting to see ancestors from the past come back to life.  This would be interesting even if this lasted for only an hour or so.
                Reincarnation is a term that has a meaning.  What does this term mean to you?  Do you believe in reincarnation?
                Movies about this happening have occurred.  I have never met anyone from the dead, but a belief could exist for anyone.
                Would people look like they used to from before?  Or would they look decayed from being dead for a number of years?
                Reincarnation is a tough concept to understand.  It is a concept that people try to make use of any which way possible.
                I have thought about reincarnation before.  It is something that is thought about by a lot of people as well.
                Does reincarnation have beliefs outside of the church?  This may or may not happen, but it could in many ways depending how open minded a person is.
                It would be fascinating to come back from the dead to have a second shot at life.  I am sure there are a lot of people who died and would like that to happen to them.
                Reincarnation doesn’t sound scary to me.  It is just an interesting concept to ponder and think about.
                How would the reincarnation experience happen if it really occurred?  Would there be white lights in the sky because of it?
                Reincarnation is something to ponder about.  However, realistically it may never happen in my lifetime.
                It is hard to really believe in.  It could exist, then again it could not.  This concept is really hard to understand for most people.
                It would be interesting to see someone reincarnate from the dead.  It would be fascinating in many regards as well.
                Could reincarnation happen in the future on our planet?  There is no answer to this question because there are people who do not believe in it.
                For a person to come back from the dead is hard to understand and pinpoint.  This is just the way reality is for most people.  To believe in something so unknown is really hard for most to fathom.
                Reincarnation will always remain in one’s mind.  It is a part of society that is either believed or not.
                Religion makes reincarnation seem believable.  I find it to be fascinating, but to believe in reincarnation is really hard for me to fathom.
                Accept reincarnation for what it’s worth.  It will remain a part of human belief and occurrence for years to come.
                Whether or not the occurrence of reincarnation will take place, this is left to see.  For now, keep an open mind in such a happening.  For the world will continue to evolve as reincarnation will be a part of us one step at a time.
