NOTE:  Before reading, PLEASE PLEASE consider that these are MY views on the subjects and that the only purpose they serve are for MY own benefit.  I put proper precautions on the post and if you are here ONLY to judge or criticize, PLEASE LEAVE NOW!  And also note I WILL most definitely delete any rude or harsh comments! 

I am a strong believer in the idea of reincarnation.  As a practitioner of the Pagan religion, I have found that it is MUCH more real than Ancient culture lore or myth.  We are all here in this life because at one point in our past we made a BIG mistake.  We just didn't choose the right path, that our lives should have gone down.  We return to the new life with the hope that we may FINALLY fix what is broken, right our wrongs, and accomplish what our souls were created to accomplish. 

Death, unfortunately, is the only outcome EVERY living thing must face.  Am I afraid of death and dying?  I won't lie, yes I am, to some extent.  However through meditation and through a deeper understanding of WHY we all actually die, I have come to accept it.  My theory, coming to the point of the post, is that those who die young or before their time, however tragic that may seem or sound, are just souls who have completed their 'earthly work' and are simply ready to move on to the Summerland.  They have fixed what is broken, righted their wrongs, and done all their souls have called them to do. 

For myself, I don't believe that this present life will indeed BE my last.  I have too much to do and unfortunately, don't believe I can finish it all before this life ends.  In a way I am saddened to think that I won't be able to join those in the Summerland and finally have peace and rest.  But another part of me KNOWS I have FAR greater things in store for me.  I don't think I am done just yet.

As someone who thinks and studies a lot on this subject, I agree with all you say. I find it an interesting thought about those who go early on in life. That would make a lot of sense. My husband and I have had many long conversations on this subject and its always different in one way or another. I also do not think this is my last round! But, I believe I am getting closer!
