Whether it happens or not doesn't matter really does it? I don't think it changes my approach and any hope for revenge on evil doers isn't a healthy way to live. I see the idea of reincarnation as a result of the same attachment Buddhist teaching asks us to avoid. Maybe I've become too attached to the idea that when the lights go out they stay out.
