what is there for a soul to learn; life is a ***** & love is the only thing that, once you have it, you can count on. there is no nirvana, there is no hell. cynical? maybe, but in all reality(?) are you more willing to attribute that everything is for some primal mote of 'energy' to become better educated (couldn't you get it the first 5000 time around?) or that it all happens for basically no reason?
...parallel, IMHO, if all this were to happen for souls to become educated, would everyone then have the same soul?
