I have an intersting theory on reincarnation in the Avatar World. I'm not sure if everyone will agree, but please comment! I know, it's very long... :-)

The Avatar is the spirit of the Earth manifested in human form. Reincarnating with the death of each Avatar, the job of the spirit is to bring peace to the world and guide humanity on the right path to utopia. My theory is that the Earth is not lonely in its reincarnation cycle, but that it is joined by Evil. Like the Avatar, Evil has a new incarnation with every oncoming generation, and always struggles with the Earth's spirit for dominance. This struggle is the cause of every war in the Avatar World. Just think about it. For Korra, Evil is Amon. For Aang, Evil was Ozai. For Roku, Evil was Sozin. For Kyoshi, Evil was Chin. For Kuruk, Evil was Ko.

So one may argue: ''But the spirits would never let Evil be reincarnated, because, well, it's just EVIL! The Avatar's life would be made much easier if the Spirits ended the cycle''. But you have to remember that the Avatar only exists to guide humanity and help it become a utopian civilization. The struggles between Earth and Evil set a precedent that humans can one day follow. They can learn how to solve problems on their own using the Avatar's philosophy, reasoning, ideology, tactics, strategy, and mentality. One day, the Avatar will cease to exist because humans will be ready to govern themselves safely without an overruling protector. Evil's reincarnation will end with that of the Avatar. Maybe the Spirit World is actually just a combination of different human worlds that have been made through the same process!

What if this is Amon's motive for why he really wants to end the Avatar cycle? He must have somehow learned this information and realized that what the Spirits are doing is wrong. He might argue with them that this method only causes more disruption in society than peace. By ending the Avatar cycle, Evil will no longer have an opponent and think that it's mission is over and leave, reinstating peace.
