By examining the various philosophies and religions of the world, I found that the doctrines of karma and reincarnation to be the most palatable explanations. So began a long search for a philosophical argument to support it. After many years, I think I have one that is air-tight. It doesn't explain everything or even much of anything but it does lay out a case for reincarnation and that's enough for right now.
If you're interested, I'll lay it out for you (it's fairly complex).

Well I certainly believe in positive karma and having good moral scrutiny in ones life verses the opposite. But I believe and understand it having more viability
during ones lifetime more so, than the so called, after life, reincarnation, or however you want to label it. When we die, its over with and doesn't matter.
I would actually like to hear your view concerning the subject of your post
Larehip, it is quite interesting and I am not completely closed minded on the subject, please continue.
