[Erin Pavlina]

It comes down to choice. People are born into the family they choose to be born into. And they can see and know what is up with the family before they incarnate. When you're in the ether getting ready to enter the world matrix you're not afraid of what's going to happen to you while incarnated any more than you would be afraid to hit "Start" in your role playing computer game. It's temporary and it serves a purpose. That doesn't mean we should ignore suffering or the plight of those in poverty, but I think it helps to get some perspective on where we're coming from and why we chose to be where we are.
