If you believe in reincarnation, do you suppose at some point everyone gets to experience the very best life imaginable?

Edit: Goddamnit will one of you please comprehend my question and give a relevant response.

I didn't ask whether or not you think souls are real or what you think about Buddha

Top intellect, creativity, productivity, wealth, family, friends, deeply satisfying happiness? In my opinion those would be the ingredients of a perfect incarnation.

Reminds me, I know a man who is living this life right now and I've told him a few times, he is living the best life known to human potential.

And he's humble too so he hasn't fully embraced my lofty assessment of him ๐Ÿ˜„

Think of how many people are alive today, and how many people you know that are living the best possible life. Considering the exponential increase in population we've seen, and the rarity of living the best possible life, the only conclusion I can come to is that, if reincarnation exists, you are far more likely to live in abject poverty than live a life of mediocrity, let alone the best possible life.

Make the best of what you have today, for tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

Ironically, people whoโ€™ve achieved the first four often struggle with the last 3. Being at the top is often lonely because itโ€™s hard to find people to relate to.

If you achieve all 7, that does indeed sound perfect.
