Yes, I agree with you. Most of what we know or what we think we know are usually because of the things we have experienced in our lives and what we believe in. It may be religion or some other thing that keeps us going. In the case of Amaeke, she believed strongly in the concept of reincarnation. Of course it does not matter if there is such a thing as reincarnation. The point is that she had seen so much pain and hardship in her life that instead of believing that life is a crappy place or that her maker hated her, she decided that this could not possibly be all there was to it. How could it be that she, a beautiful woman was a good wife and an excellent mother, yet life had dealt her such a terrible hand. No, she thought, there must be more to it. Perhaps these were lessons she needed to learn in this turn of existence. She figured she would live it out with her head held high no matter what happened because she had imagined that the next life would be indeed awesome.

However, she discovered that she did not have to die to experience happiness again. Because of her attitude to all that was happening to her, she found a help-mate, a child that ensured that not only did she not live out her life alone, her name was written in the sands of time.
