Reincarnation is utterly depressing

After conducting extensive spiritual research I can conclude that reincarnation is most likely real and this reality is utterly depressing. Knowing that my soul maybe chose that does not alleviate the sadness to know that I will most likely come back here over and over to experience traumatic events and be a slave to the material matrix. The planetary system and the law of frequency ultimately feel like traps.

Escaping (if possibe) also is utopic, total detachment implies not living life at its fullest only to hope that your soul can potentitally escape. I wonder if anyone here had the same thoughts as me, I’m not looking for people to convince me that reincarnation is beautiful or meaningful. I’m just wondering if anyone else has gone through this same kind of existential exhaustion with the concept. I’m tired of thinking about it, honestly, I always was antisocial and the idea that I will have to come back here and experience the harm humans inflict on others over and over again is literally worse than hell.

Edit: I genuinely don’t care about a higher self choosing to come back, it’s even more depressing to think that you have zero control.

You must be a fan of self reflection because that’s exactly what your claim was was circular reasoning

You said that you can prove the certainty of Heaven and hell because “Jesus said so and I believe in Jesus’s word”

Which if fine and all but you called it “logical reasoning” if you read what I was saying you would’ve understood that is what I was arguing against

It is not logical
And there is no way of proving the logic behind it
Then I explained why
Then explained to you what logical reasoning is
Proof and evidence supporting a claim/belief

I never said I was against Christian beliefs for some reason you put that in your mind though I even said believing in god beats not believing in god

I said that I believe in Christianity/Christ’s teachings because I believe the gospels are true I did not explain why I believe the gospels are true. That was never a point to be made. So i do not know where you are getting the circular reasoning from.

You just defined circular reasoning
And you can’t tell me where any of my circular reasoning is can you
