Pain sucks. Misery and suffering sucks. That is, if you happen to be in the position to experience it.
If you were to come back in 10, 30, 50, or even a 100 years after you die, what would you change in this moment for your future existence?
What would you do to prepare the way for your next ride?
Is there a right and wrong way to setup shop? Are you willing to make every single mistake and experience every single pain all over again? Or are you willing to ensure that you do not go through all of the same mistakes again?

This may be easier understood if you had done work on your geneology, and understood that removing just a single link in your lineage would most likely remove you as well. Just take a few steps back and imagine yourself to be in a position higher up in the tree, and look at how many people under that one have shaped the history you experience now. You are in that position to create the future.
Let's say you bring about laws that govern how you will be treated later. (Martin Luther King) Let's say you nuke the landscape so that certain plant life no longer exist, and your return goes through a deficiency making you allergic to sunlight. Let's say you are in a lab and create a biogerm that shortens attention spans permanently, and the population becomes permanently changed.
Do morals fit into this picture or does logical thought fit better? Are you creating the future with morals or rational thought?
I think religion tried to create using morals. And it looks like theosophists tried to create using logic. I think religion failed, many of them can't wait for the rapture to take them away from what they created.
