If you knew, without a doubt, that reincranation was a reality, would you wish to speed up your life or slow it down?

I'd slow it down. I'm in no hurry to come back as a cockroach or horsefly. |

I'd let it play out as scheduled. To speed it up I might miss something. To slow it down would likely result in a lot of misery when I ran out of money and was in very poor health and all my friends were dead. Buddha believed that you would come back to a better life if you lived the present one correctly. Worse if you didn't. I wouldn't fear coming back as a horsefly. |

If I could come back with a stronger body, fuller purse and to a time period I choose, maybe then I would. But, not as things here are now or are going to be in the near future. |
