I don't understand how life after death would benefit those. If they didn't know what to do with their lives in this life, why should they do anything if they got another chance? In some ways, for some people, I would think afterlife would be more like a curse then - you're tired of life, you want it to end, it ends, then you see that it really didn't and the carousel starts spinning again....
