I've also questioned this and to be honest, it's something I've pondered. I believe that the reason why you must experience life, harshness, despair, and sadness, is to eventually break out of the 'sleeping' state of the Spirit.

If you do not comprehend that you are an eternal spirit that belongs to the Father, either one of two possibilities exist:

1) You have a soul but not a spirit

2) You are being controlled by interdimensional beings to keep you asleep. Wife, family, children, job, drugs, fornication, work, food... all things to keep you making the rounds of societal contribution until old age hits you. And when the happens, will it be too late? I do not know..

But there in lies the catch-22 of the Archons:

You go to the heavens to seek God the Father and not within. Thus, you become a victim of memory wipe and soul recycling AGAIN... and again... and again...

Were you close to breaking out of the mind control matrix? You are now going to be incarnated into an even shitter life to prevent you from waking up. But...! This violates free will. If you find yourself in this predicament, call upon the Father and Christ.. but even I don't know because I too am a victim of this memory wipe. We all are.

The aliens, archon beings that post here, will often say, "We need to tell humans their true history". But that, once again, is manipulation of us on a grand scale. We live in a frightening world but at least Christ told us the way to escape.
