    I would just like to point out that e.g. according to buddhist belief, where/how you are reborn depends on what you helped to create in your previous life.

    this is to be understood both biologically and psychologically. i.e. when you hurt someone, like your neighbor, chances are high that you’re going to experience the same action done to you in your next life, but also if you help somebody ofc.

    so the chance of being reborn in africa if you live in the US today are … low, i’d say.

      How many of those countries have been subject to neocolonialism and CIA coups? Lots of people support politicians who want to continue stealing from and exploiting countries in Africa and elsewhere, so by that logic it seems to me that the chances are pretty high, actually.

      I don’t think enough people are being born in Palestine to accommodate all the American souls who karmically ought to be reborn there.

      It sounds like you’re internally associating Africa and the US with opposite “goodness” evaluations, but you never explain which way and I have no idea why you think your conclusion makes sense.
