Based Buddhism. Funny you should bring it up the other day I was reading the sutras of bodhisattva Kshitigarbha
who has dedicated his life through countless around and rebirths to the liberation of all sentient brings. He could have become Buddha but he said he wouldn't until all beings are enlightened and the hell-worlds are emptied.

That's a badass interpretation of Buddhist dogma, and sounds like the way I'd look at it.

I like life enough that I wouldn't mind a few more incarnations. Shame some of them will be miserable, but so will quite a few of my days in this life.
