my understanding from reading scripture is that we have never lived before----this is our first time and we are all very unique----there is not another person on the face of this earth that is or has been exactly like ourselves.
G-D loves variety otherwise They would not have made possible so many different types of flowers/birds/insects/cattle/dogs/cats/fish---etc. and so many different races of peoples and personalities.
lets face it-----if everyone on earth was exactly like you---wouldn't you get bored real fast---and start to hate "yourself" ?

speculation can also be out of knowledge and experience
Im not sure if you would be the type to explore meditation or some type of spiritual experience such as Astral Projection, Remote Viewing, or even just praying, but these experiences all lead to some type of change in consciousness.
This change or activity in consciousness, as well as other paranormal activity that does occur in our lives, also lead to speculation.
I totally respect your opinion, and its up to you to try whatever you want to try or just to enjoy life in your own way, just know that speculation is also a direct result of experience, which would lead anyone to ponder the possibilities of what else is out there.
Just look at quantum mechanics, crazy, unexplainable things... even paranormal some would say, which could lead many students of the subject to speculate or explore other phenomena...
