As he understood more of Jim's motivation, he said to himself, "No wonder the religions of my past life had so much allure, even though there was no proof of a god or evidence of life after death."
"Just the possibility of life after death was enough to drive many people crazy. They were willing to become suicide bombers, and their faith was enough to let them willingly embalm their bodies into statues while they were alive."
"If the possibility of life after death can make people continue to suffer for their faith, then it is no wonder that the reality of life after death in this world is enough to make people continue struggling in this life so that their next life can be better."
As good as he thought life after death was, he also realized something detrimental about this entire situation, which made him say to Jim, "If everyone reincarnates and the number of cultivators increases without limit, does the amount of resources for cultivation increase too?"
