The Sword and Laser discussion

So if you died and came before the Yama Kings, what would you ask to be in your next life and why?

I would ask to be a giant sequoia. I could help father generations of trees of a species that has been devistated by humanity; I could settle down in one spot for millenium after a life of never spending more than a few years in any one city/state/country; I could see what will become of the world in these most interesting of times from an uninterrupted view; and when I was old and useless, I could give the most to others around me to use most diversely.

A tropical fish in the zoo aquarium. I would float along in the warm, predator free water, showing off my pretty fins while enjoying free food. That's the life!

Bruce Campbell, because awesome. Or maybe a dragon. Can I be dragon Bruce Campbell?

I'd come back as a dog. So long as I had a good master. Eat, sleep, going for walks and bringing joy to those around me.

I think I'd ask to be a dog as well. But I think I'd specifiy to be a useful dog. One that helps his master with his master's work. At the very least something that would protect his master's family when his master was not around.

dragon Bruce Campbell = win

Fruit fly. Hopefully I'll live well in the few weeks allotted to me and earn a better choice next time around that much sooner.

Coming back as me. Only doing it perfectly next time.

Miser Shen wanted to come back as a tree and be called Great Generosity. Number Ten Ox was described as being pure of heart and he wanted to come back as a cloud, he had few issues to resolve. I like how these two looked at the wheel, as a chance to make up for this life or to be something better in the next.

I haven't decided what I would want to come back as yet. A tree that becomes books that entertain and enlighten?

Dragon without a doubt but I'd want it to be a world where I was understood and not killed on site.
