Hinduism...The World's Oldest Religion.

This past week, our class has been talking about Hinduism and Buddhism. I didn't know much about these religions til it was brought up. I learned that Hinduism is the world's oldest religion and that came about in India. It deals with the ideas that people believed in reincarnations, a cycle of births and deaths and when one dies they are reborn into another form of life depending on their standards of their mortal life. It's like when someone good dies they are reincarnated into another being or a high leveled animal like a bear or lion. If someone bad dies, it is believed that they'll get reborn into a lower leveled animal or living thing such as a bug or a plant. This is a never ending cycle that is part of the Hindu's beliefs.

If you had the option to be reborn into something other than a human after you died, what would it be and why?
