negative thinking > achieving negative goals > repeating Deliberate repetition may be a proper and courageous response to a setback or failure. But much repetition is unconscious or compulsive - and this is more problematic.
 
Reincarnation A better life next time?

We start by thinking how horrid it is to grow old and die, how pleasant it would be to have a new young body, a new life. Reincarnation is an attractive prospect for many people; it is a serious belief of millions. The spiritual quest is to reincarnate well: the better one lives, the better life one gets next time around.

And yet when reincarnation is thought of as an unending cycle, the attractions are mixed with unease. For many millions more, the spiritual quest is not to reincarnate well, but to escape reincarnation. Reincarnation becomes not a solution to old age and death, but a yet bigger problem.
