Recycling

Abraham Myerson relates the following story in his book 'TheFoundations of Personality':

'I have a son who, when he was three, manifested great emotion if death were to enter in a story. "Will anything happen?" he would ask,meaning, "Will death enter?" And if so, he would beg not to have thatstory told. But when he was four, he heard someone say that there werepeople who took old automobiles apart, fixed up the parts and thesewere then placed in other automobiles.

"That's what God does to us," he cried triumphantly. "When we die, He takes us apart and puts us into babies, and we live again." Thereafter, he would discuss death as fearlessly as hespoke of dinner, and all his fears vanished.
