it's also liberating to realize our mortality. we come into life with nothing, we leave with nothing. every thing that happens in between- win or lose, happy or sad, confident or insecure- it's all profit.
knowing we have to die we can steer our experiences with a unique perception and love everything that happens to us.
Everything you are saying is true Eric but you might add that there are people like Fuhrer Trump who actually is going in reverse... not making any spiritual progress but setting himself up for painful repercussions because of the mistreatment he has given Mother Nature and the working class as well as his lack of concern for others across the globe. There are some cases in which human souls must come back as animals because they have lived the consciousness of an animal instead of finding higher ground as in their human potential. So in his life you could make the case that no profit was made at all.
Eric perhaps you would say I am making a personal judgement and I would not disagree with you. However we make judgements every day as we steer our lives on a course. If we want the good karma of taking our responsibilities in the nation we live in we will vote and this requires a choice and in evaluating the people we vote for... a judgement on making a decision.
