What if whether we are in heaven or hell depends upon our state of mind, on how we feel about ourselves. And the one justice in this system would be that after death we have total knowledge about how our actions affected other people. All the things we did and rationalized to ourselves as being okay or "not my problem" we realize how they hurt other people and we can't hide from this guilt and exist in torment over our own actions. The few people who look back at their lives and see only good things resulting from their actions exist in a state of the utmost satisfaction for a job well done.
Fitting this with the eastern beliefs in reincarnation, those people unsatisfied with their lives would chose reincarnation to avoid the self-loathing they cannot avoid in the hereafter.
I'm not starting a new religion, it's just a fun idea to kick around.
Bye for now, Doug
