The concept of past lives has been debated and discussed for centuries, with some believing in reincarnation and others dismissing it as nothing more than a myth. However, for those who do believe in the idea of past lives, there is a compelling argument that they can provide valuable retrospection for our current life.

The basic premise of past lives is that our souls have lived many lives before our current one, and that our past experiences can influence our current thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. This concept is often associated with Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, but it has also been embraced by some in the Western world.
