If I was told that I’d come back to earth to be reincarnated as another human being with choices. I would like the following;
To be a woman. To be non-binary, still. To still remain a ‘gray world resident’. To retain my ability to not cave to FOMO and be resourceful. There’s a hundred of other things but in terms of core ones, those are the few.
likely retaining all the knowledge you gained before you died, would be enough to fast track you through school and not make the same mistakes you did in a previous life, no need to complicate yourself. and you can avoid all the dysfunction you get from your family/relatives when they start nagging at you.
Depending how vague/specific a concept could be, I’d prefer the wisdom over the knowledge. Could argue they’re the same thing
Wisdom is derived from knowledge, but they don’t equal each other.
“Your friends and family are the most important thing” is a wisdom someone may believe, and that wisdom was formed from the accumulated outcomes of many different life experiences.
But we can still retain the wisdom, even if we forget the knowledge - in fact that’s a normal part of growing older. We forget the exact events, but we remember the lessons we took from them.
