Well, I thought about this for how many times before I go to sleep and whenever I woke up in the morning. I am wishing that someday I want to be a male in real life. If ever I would be reincarnated, I want to be a male because in real life situation, I am not satisfied to be born as a female. I do not know why? ...and deep within me, I want to know what it like to be a male. Is it good, bad or am I going to satisfied and contented if I become a man? So, if you die and be reincarnated, what do you want to be? ...and why?

@ iuliuxd Interesting e? He he -- a rock? That means no one would think of hurting you anymore because you are a rock with no feelings at all. If they hurt you, they are the one who would end up crying and hurting too much because you are strong. They can't beat you.

Yes and if you hurt someone you can blame them since you are a rock and won`t be able to do anything by yourself

Hello IntroertShy, This is really interesting topic. Time to time I have been jealous to my cat because he can sleep all day long and I have to go work. Some times I want to be him and cat can go to work. But being a human and live as human is rich experience. I want experience life as a male if I would be reincarnated.

I noticed that too. Cats always sleep. All they have to do is sleep and eat. He he My brother called them 'lazy' and he prefer to choose a dog, but I like cats. Though I like cats and dogs, cats are not 'lazy' like what my brother thinks because if cats see a mouse, they do have more benefits on chasing the mouse all the time, but I like them when cats sleep. They are so cute...

If i would be given a chance to choose and if i were to be reincarnated.. then i would still want to become a human. i want to live as a human again, and choose to be born to a wonderful parents. haha =) i guess i have not thought of being an animal or a bird to fly.. i don't need to be them to make me feel how it is to fly in the sky, or to swim in the depths of the sea.. i know i would experience them all being ahuman myself. like sky dive or scuba dive... =) but being a human is different.. you have a lot of experience like loving, living with families, friendships, technology, etc...

If given the chance to reincarnate, I want to be me again so that I could either see what went through my life or think of what could have been done better. I will go back to the moments of regret, troubles and disappointmnet and do something that I missed in my first life. Should I be reincarnated, I wish it comes with a Time Machine.

Hi IntrovertShy, I think that we have all lived many lives on this earth, sometimes as a male, others as a female. It is also likely that we will live many more lives here. It is best to be contented with where we find ourselves today, because the decision to be a male or female in any lifetime is made in our in-between lives, and at a time when we know what is best for the moment. You will very likely come back as a male again sometime, perhaps in your next life but be content with the way you are today. Blessings.

He he... the reason that I am not contented is because a female would get pregnant if they're rape by a male gender. Society limits most female when it comes to 'freedom of expression' -- especially those people who are very religious and very traditional. That is why I feel that I am not free at all.

I am not sure what I wanted be if I am to be reincarnated. What do you think the best to be? I just don't know and it's obvious for me to say I wanted to be someone out of myself if it really true or not. I have different in faith. That's it

Now that's an interesting topic you made there. If I was given the chance of reincarnation I would have no idea what I want to be reborn as. I was thinking of an animal such as a bird because I really do want to experience natural flight in the sky and feel the breeze under my wings. As an animal, you wouldn't have human worries and hardships. You're simply an animal that carries out the typical routine like eating, fending off predators and watching over your young. As a human, there's too many worries, stress going on in your life. You have to study, then work, then try and save up for a home, the list is endless. Of course, there is more to human life than an animal's life but I have already experienced the life as a human. So why not try another life that you have never experienced.

...the problem is if human sees you, they would put you in cage without any freedom at all. Sometimes human can be cruel, but not all of them and I also can't imagine myself that a human would put me in a cage. Even if they are the one who feeds for my food, I still want to be free and fly in the sky. Well, not all humans are cruel.

i am not a believer of reincarnation but for the sake of discussion, and if this is true, i still want to be a female. but i want to experience being a popular female. it can be in politics,in showbiz, or in writing. they say it is not easy being a popular and it is a conjecture that i think is true. so i really would want to experience that.

The parameter of whether we are male or female is made with good reason. It helps in the lessons we learn or teach to others. If you are female and really want to be male, be female anyway.Try to discover how that changes you and those around you. Me? I'm male. I think that is a good choice. I don't think I would make a very good female. It doesn't seem to be in my nature. On the other hand, I know some women who should never be a man. So I think the world is better off with us as we are. Let's use what we are given to the best of our abilities. Let's see where it takes us. When it's all said and done, we will see that is the best choice of all.

Hi IntrovertShy, If I were to be reincarnated, I would like to be an Angel. Angels have no sufferings. They do not eat as hunger does not exist in their kingdom. They do not feel pain and holds no grudge against anybody. They are beautiful beings filled with love and good thoughts and I would be more than honored if I ever had a chance to be one in my next life.

If I would be given a chance to live again,I would love to be a son of a super rich,super powerful,super popular person.I want it to happen because my life isn't so easy right now,and I want to experience being very rich and powerful even in just my second life. If I am not born again as a super rich man I would love to be born with very beautiful voice and extreme talent.I would love to be like michael jackson in my second life.:)

I think this is an awesome topic. So insiteful into the ideas & views of others. I've read through many in this discussion and it was fascinating the different thing's people wanted to return as and why? For me though, I have over the years, well since childhood changed what I would want to be reincarnated as many times. As a child I wanted to be a Kuala lol. As a teenager I always said I'd love to be a bird because of the ability to withstand the different seasons & be able to fly all over day and night. But now as an adult I do sometimes think coming back to life as a Male would be awesome. Being a single monther of a son & daughters I realize that I am NOT a good Dad. I would love to see what it's like to be on the other side.

I'd want to be born as human again and rectify the errors which I did in my life previously and I could being a new life the way I want. There's nothing better than being born as a human, you have the brain of the most intelligent animal on this planet, and you're able to determine the good and bad and proceed ahead with what you feel correct. I can't miss the chance of being born as a human once again if I were to be reincarnated.
