Ancients among us

We all know people whose successes in life only multiply over the years, who are untouched by tragedy or bad luck, who are beautiful to boot, whose lives seem charmed.

After reminding myself that life isn't supposed to be fair, I still wonder whether they have a leg up: genetically, in brain power, in simple circumstance. That leads me to muse about reincarnation, the kind where you keep returning as a human, not other parts of nature like trees and animals.

Perhaps the magic that is their lives is the work of centuries of learning and rebirth - of adding layers - to the same inner core. What we see as peers may actually be ancient souls in our midst, living their millionth life to our thousandth!
