You could take refuge in the fact that you must have been a very good plankton to make it all the way to human in a single cycle.
Homie led the plankton revolt of 1831479QT, and ushered in a golden age of cooperation and peace between the sea Lords and planktonions, so that only the old, sick, and recently deceased plankton would fuel the hunger of the overlords, and doesn’t even remember
Damn, I didn’t realize plankton had it so hard. Makes sense that it would be krill or be krilled.
He was a good christian plancton.
Then wouldn’t he have gone to plankton heaven?
I remember though. A big whale ate me.
No, this is Patrick.
I guess it would explain why everyone can fucking eat me.
The ghost of Jeffery Dahmer has entered the chat.
Let’s assume that reincarnation is real for all living things, and that you get reincarnated the moment you die. And you get to do it a lot.

Wait a minute, I fucked up, viruses aren’t technically alive. Too bad, your soul is in it until it gets destroyed cause I’m not changing my original comment. You’ll just have to wait it out, then you can go back to being probably-but-not-always bacteria.
I feel like there’d be a lot of ants and insects in there too.
These odds aren’t promising either.
If you’re a really well-behaved plankton you could have become the bodhisatva. But you were very poorly behaved, and became Human.
I lean in favor of open individualism these days, so yes, I was, am, and will continue to be plankton for as long as plankton continues to exist. And to be extra cliche, I am also you, and you, and you, and you, and I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together.
Sounds like thr Advaita Vedanta concept of Brahman which is described in Dharmic religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
Always fascinating to see Eastern spirituality’s influence on philosophy.
Technically it’s true. There’s a high chance bits and pieces of you have been used in other life several times, though you were more likely parts of plants than other creatures.
And when you die, you’ll be reused again. Nature has always been like that.
not just “alive” things but “dead” things too. the “dead” multivitamin i took this morning is absorbed into my “living” cells now. the air we breath has been inhaled and exhaled countless times for eons. loose hair and dead skin cells become dust and soil again.
the universe is an ocean, and we are a wave. we’re made of stardust and dinosaur farts.
Nah I get flashbacks of the old west and colonial New York. They mean literally less than nothing but I get glimpse of a past and it feels like déjà vu. Maybe I just have an over active imagination and read too many books
I’ve been reincarnated from the future and get flashes of what’s to come.
gotta say, it’s not great.
Lol I walked around this winter in the snow and thought, “this won’t be here in 13 years”. Very specific but feels probably true
All life is born of Gaia and each life has a spirit… When the physical body dies, the mature spirit, enriched by its life on Earth, returns to Gaia, bringing with it the experiences, enabling Gaia to live and grow
Guess I was a bad plankton :(
