Looking at life through the lenses that were are finite creatures that only have one shot at this whole deal we call life, you are right when you say things don't look so good, and really what is the point. From that frame of reference I would have to agree.
Given your bleak outlook on the human condition, I would encourage you to try on some different points of view. The people on this site will give you some different perspectives, all of which are worth checking out.
For me personally, I believe that good and bad, judgment and punishment is nothing more than mans attempt to define things they don't understand.
I believe we incarnate on this physical earth simply to learn and to grow. I believe we do so multiple times for different reasons and different lessons each time. I believe we and we alone decide which lives we want to incarnate into for personal lessons, and personal growth. I don't believe there is punishment outside of our physical earth for us, period.
There is only learning. Period.
If you are serious about your search for the nature of our true selves read. Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Take it for what it is worth, and try it on for size. I think it answers alot of the questions that religions can't come close to explaining.
