Well put, well put.mikecash said:If you are enamored with all things Japanese, I'd say there's a pretty strong chance you were not Japanese in a past life. And may not even have a life this time around, either.
It depends on how you feel about Japan. If you are interested in the history, want to learn the language fluently feel a sort of brotherhood with the people and would really die for Japan. Maybe you are.. but to be fully obessesed in the Manga part or Cosplay things for example I would say you just have an obsession that has nothing to do with being Japanese itself. Being Japanese means having the soul of honour, filial piety, unwaivering loyalty to Japan and upholding the history. And also picturing yourself as an average Japanese man or woman. Would you be comfortable with it?
I believe in past lives... and yes maybe I was Japanese. Many people who know me well ask me about my behaviour and one asked "you know you are really Japanese!, its very strange" this person didn't know I was even interested in Japan. I do certain things while not conscious like bowing my head slightly at people and using overly polite language and absolute respect of the elderly. I don't have an interest in Manga, or the emo type part of the culture but I have strong connections with Japanese history and traditional culture... especially World War II and after that with Japanese politics. Usually the periods between 1920s-1990s.
I think the Japanese language is a source of pride that should be upheld at all costs. From a young age I always felt more connected with Japan... (I come from a real Aussie family by the way who really hated Japan for World War II). But I have always felt loyalty to the Japanese Imperial Forces rather than Allies. Don't get me started on how I feel about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So you can judge yourself. As I said past lives cant be proven scientifically but this is my beliefs.
If you've never been to Japan for any length of time, then it's silly IMO to even hold ideas like being a Japanese in a past life. People who have those views IMO are merely enamored over stuff they've read or vids they've seen and have not had the experience needed to show them what life here is really like. You might think certain aspects of your personality match with what you've read about the culture here, but that's really about as far as it goes.
I'm not trying to be cruel, just realistic.
If we get really realistic and consider the relative numbers and types of life forms on the planet, then we probably spent the vast bulk of any past lives as plankton, insects, or bacteria. Funny how nobody ever waxes nostalgic over those far more likely and far more plausible incarnations, isn't it?
i think i been both girls and boys and prolly gay or crossdresser often,For all of us that are enamoured with all things Japanese, do you think you were Japanese in a past life, and if so which era would you live in and who would you be?
