Reincarnation

600


I once lived a life with great wealth but I became arrogant and turned into a hoarder.
I then learned to be charitable when I spent a life as a poor servant and was only a boarder.
I once lived a life as a great beauty but I quickly became shallow and very vain.
I then became humble when I spent a life being clumsy and when my looks were very plain.
I once lived a life in a great castle with many servants but I became very lazy because I was a royal.
I then learned diligence when I spent a life on the prairie and earned my keep by tilling the soil.
I once lived a life when I was corrupt and accused another so I would not have any jail time.
I then learned temperance when I spent a life in a dungeon because I was falsely accused of a crime.
I once lived a life as a leader but I became a tyrant and all citizens were afraid of my wrath.
I then learned compassion when I spent a life watching others being persecuted because they followed a righteous path.
Between each departure, I spent some time to reflect on the past life and what I needed to learn.
After many more lives, I finally achieved enlightenment and was then informed that I need not return.
