Just to let ya'll know, i dont make up my own beliefs, that would kick ass,if it were right,though.:p I believe we were born in spirit/soul form before we were sent to earth. In fact, there are even some beliefs that before your sent to earth, you already have been happily wed to your husband/wife already for quite some time. Hence soul mates. Its all up to you, to find them again on earth.That belief has also been played out many times in movies,or books,etc.maybe we were all spirit's assigned to a body, just as a guide is assigned to a human.We already have our personality intact in our soul,but we're just sent down to earth to occupy a body,and well...live life.Why? i have no idea.

Rest assure. IF a person can die.we have a soul.because the soul is the life essence, its not in the body anymore,if it were, the body would'ent be dead in the first place.The soul travels on.
