Great equalizer

"Each incarnation offers us an opportunity to improve on our mistakes, no matter how grievous, rather than being eternally condemned for them.  Reincarnation is the great equalizer.  By changing bodies and life situations, we are given countless chances to shift perspective.  We have infinite opportunities to truly understand whatever it is we need to learn about the human condition from all possible points of view.  If we faced challenges that ended in failure last time, we have another go at it.  For most of us, these lessons are not quickly or easily learned.  It takes lifetimes."
