all i am saying is that. people make alexander the great such a great act, and there is no doubt that he was one of the greatest cocureres.
but i ment that he burned persepolis down and he also burned the original texts of zend avesta.
now look at cyrus the great.he never did things like that he never killed people for no reason. never forced people to anything.
thanks for writing back for my last reply.

Hi Cyrus,I like Cyrus too. But I want to caution you that the reason I like him is due to the one and only book that I read about him. The author was kind. I read something on the internet then that stunned me as I learned that he had flaws and character weaknesses also. If I were to think that reincarnation to be a fact, I would think that Cyrus is Confucius reborn.Especially in regarding tombs if you know anything about Confucius.But the problem with reincarnation is that it is all a matter of faith.But Confucius and Cyrus seem very much alike to me, so that perhaps instead of reincarnation, some like ideas simply are a part of a vibration of great leaders.I felt as though I had gone full circle after I read Cyrus and then Confucius. Both are extremely modest in their sense of proportion. It is truly amazing to consider that perhaps great gods do come into the flesh time and time again, never to be realized until some late period in which distance makes us see them in a new light.I believe that Alexander's soul may be doing the rounds as well, but again it is all a matter of faith, and not real evidence. I just found a reincarnation institute website which has information on Alexander if you are interested. Some friend brought it to my attention. So I will pass it on to you as well.
