It’s central to many traditions: Even ancient Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato spoke of metempsychosis — the soul’s migration from one body to another. Why do people believe in it? Karma : Actions have consequences beyond this life. Justice : Reincarnation explains suffering — not as punish...
