It took many decades to get to where I am at right now and I didn't come to my beliefs lightly or on a whim. Meanwhile, I am still changing because I try to keep my mind open to new ideas and points of view. The older I get, the more I realize how much I don't know and that keeps me humble and hopefully receptive to truth. Actually, I rarely talk about it, because I'm not trying to convert anyone. I just got engaged in the conversation and a handful of people decided to hop aboard and ridicule the idea
I've found that people who cannot or will not accept certain concepts such as reincarnation have already decided it is absolutely not true, so there is no convincing them. Why they choose to keep arguing is rather curious, because I really don't care if you don't believe. Why should you care if I do?
