The Oracle's Cookie User ID: 76948143 United States 11/26/2020 06:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well...I noticed that Bill Murray--the guy who kept repeating the same day over and over in the script of the movie--would become more and more compassionate and more intelligent as he went along. So for THAT to be the case, you would see the many lessons of a LONG LIFE to be to push you toward MORE compassion and more intelligence. But it's a movie...and many people live to be VERY OLD and are still very uncompassionate and get dumber with age!

I thought this was common knowledge... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77736552 Strong cases of apparent reincarnation, such as the one involving James Leininger, etc, etc, suggest that some aspect of quantum physics is at work in the human soul. The interviewer was slimeball Chris Cuomo, but the story is still a matter of WTF?!! Reincarnation is not a pleasant notion. Most people going going back to time immemorial have led fairly miserable existences. Or what a British writer wrote centuries ago: "People living short, nasty, brutish lives." No thank you. |

And you don’t remember your prior mistakes and are not the same individual with same personality redoing the same life, so not the same concept as Groundhog Day. |

President-Elect Louis That is my arm now; broken for 7 months User ID: 76169703 United States 12/05/2020 01:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | +5 OP Very well written screenplay. For me it is an illustration of the fact that everything exists in the eternal present, all that changes is our perspective or 'viewpoint in time'. In this case ^that^ reality, his 'viewpoint in time' is repeated countless times to better him, until he could 'advance' in his spiritual and psychological development. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

Then by being forced to do the same day over and over he gradually learned how to get everything right. On the final day, he did everything perfectly, then he was able to graduate to the next day.

I thought this was common knowledge... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77736552 Except in the movie, he could remember the last days and use that knowledge to improved/correct his behaviour. With reincarnation, your identity and memories get nuked every time you die, so no learning or growth is possible beyond one “day”(lifetime). So reincarnation would be pure evil if it existed, pure chaos. I don’t think God is that bad if an engineer! There are surely better places than this that we simply can’t think of in this form... I have felt His love briefly. It is absolute. |
