In “My Life as a Bat,” the author discusses the concept of reincarnation and their belief that they were a bat in a previous life. The author acknowledges that some people may find the idea of previous lives amusing or unlikely, but argues that many people believe in them and that it is not their place to disagree. The author also mentions that the belief in previous lives has become commercialized, with people claiming to have been famous historical figures and profiting from it. The author notes that there is more demand for certain previous lives, such as Cleopatra, compared to others like Peruvian ditch-diggers or vultures. The author concludes by stating that while not many people choose to remember their lives as animals, some do, and they consider themselves fortunate to have had that experience.

In “My Life as a Bat,” the author talks about believing they were a bat in a past life. Some people may find this idea strange, but many people actually believe in previous lives. In fact, there is even a market where people can make money by claiming to have been famous historical figures in their past lives. Some previous lives are more popular than others, like being Cleopatra, while others are less desirable, like being a ditch-digger. Not many people remember being animals in their past lives, but some do and consider themselves lucky to have had that experience.
