In a Star Trek episode we see a planet where ugly or disabled people have their lives changed by superior beings who create illusions that make them see themselves as beautiful, active and happy. Could the opposite happen in our very lives? Many believe that - in reality - we are pure spirits whose earthly lives are simply aiming at making us experience different kinds of negativities such as hardships, pain, danger, injustice, hate etc. What could the final purpose of all this be? In the Star Trek story the goal was clearly the creation of a happier life for poor, wretched people. In our case the aim must surely be the spiritual advancement of our true Being. No-one knows for sure, but this is certainly a comforting hypothesis that can help mankind to live with a more positive attitude.
