Didn't T. S. Eliot write the 'Possum's Book of Cats'? Well, I think it's called something like that, anyway. I saw the musical of it once, it was amazing.
Interesting take on reincarnation. I once thought something like that when I was younger, but it wasn't to do with death, it was to do with grief; others will suffer around you, but the second anything bad happens to you, you'll be swapped over into an alternate universe. Therefore, each of us are protected from grief by living in our own protective universe.
All of which was BS, of course; I only came up with that theory because I hadn't experienced personal grief yet (still really haven't, but I've come to my senses). This all kind of stemmed from yet another theory that I'm the only real person in the world and that God has created the universe around me, because how do I know if people are actually people? Etc.
Sorry for bringing general vague craziness in here.
