What should you do first after being reborn?
Take revenge? No!
You should face the wall and reflect, then take a blade to your past self.
Don't think that being reborn lets you fool yourself into believing none of it ever happened.
Time leaves its marks on everything you experience, whether real or imagined. As your heart changes, so do circumstances; as time passes, the world changes. No one can truly live their life over. All you can do is remember the foolishness of the past and keep going.
So how should you live?
Be a recluse in the forest, or a hermit in the city.
Watch him bask in success, watch him get everything he wants, watch everyone leave and his tower come crashing down...
I, meanwhile, steal moments of leisure from my days: listening to the wind in the woods at dawn, watching the evening glow at dusk, gazing at the autumn moon and frost, and returning home with the dew. I tend my little plot of land and wait for someone to turn out the lights.
