I know this isn't the religion forum:+) and it is not my belief - however --- many who believe reincarnation believe that after death you review your life, see what lesson/s were missing on your path to perfecting your soul, and then choose to be born to a certain life in order to learn ???? humility?compassion? generosity? some lesson which you failed to grasp the last time around. So if you choose it, for your own spiritual perfection, then not too S/M.
The logic eludes me on why you would choose to be a mass murderer, unless you need to learn something about being totally bonkers.
To the subject of the OP - 'destiny' is difficult to accept as it negates free will. Many have used destiny as an excuse for not trying to change. Accepting someone else's suffering, so you get your destiny. Uncomfortable philosophy for me - -
