why the hell would I harass with my earth spike ? I ' d just use plain ol ' autoattack <| sep |> The whole point is that you are not your body , so you don ' t die but are instead connected to your future rebirths through the moral causation of actions just as this present incarnation is influenced by your past actions . You will inherit your action and thus continue to be reborn so long as you are deluded about the true nature of reality . The cycle of rebirth is characterized by suffering and instability , so it ' s not something good . Some of the bad things you experience in this life have been due to action in previous lives for that reason you should care about your current actions for the sake of your future incarnations . The details of the systems differ , but they all more or less agree on the above .
