Why would you care about another life if it is detached from your other lifes?

    If I understand you correctly, you say that it simply boils down to not wanting to harm any other being which includes “yourself” in the future. Right?

      Yes, that’s the essence. I would also state that there isn’t a self that is reborn, but the unresolved actions and intentions that find the opportunity for resolution. Then a new self is born around those.

      It’s important to know that Buddhism doesn’t believe in an eternal self.
