If reincarnation is real, why can't we remember our past lives?

They usually say that forgetting about your "past" lives allows you to continue on with your "current" life without dealing with all the baggage from the last one. Granted, I don't believe in reincarnation, but I've studied it a lot in an unsuccessful previous attempt to believe in it, and that's the answer I always found to this question.

You're right; you have a very vivid imagination! You cannot remember a past life because you never had one; there is no such thing as reincarnation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
