what's the point? we don't remember our past lives anyway
i'm more inclined to think that Karma is like that weird Taiwanese movie I saw in my childhood - the people die, end up in the 1st level of Hell (all Taoists go to Hell, btw, unless you attain Godhood), then the Lord of the Underworld will spin a Wheel of Fortune-type thingie and you get reincarnated as what the needle points to - a pig, a butterfly, etc
