The funny thing about 3D here on Earth is that it can be either a prison or a paradise. I have personally experienced it as both, so I can very strongly relate to the sentiment earth_spirit is describing.
What's more interesting, whether it is a prison or a paradise for a given individual is up to that individual. The great work of life is to first, discover, and second, use the magical keys that transform samsara (suffering) into nirvana (bliss).
The keys are the Law of One, the teachings of Buddha, the example of Jesus and Gandhi. Using the keys means working diligently to apply the teachings in our daily lives, our interactions with ourselves, others, nature. Simply becoming more loving and kind. Simply treating all others the way we would want to be treated. What could be more reasonable and fair?
If it's a prison, then it's one with the door unlocked. Our work is simply to notice that the door exists, and then make the effort to get up and walk out!
