The virtues are precious.
Virtues like truthfulness and compassion
but also the negation
of violence, of stealing and possessiveness.
They are even more important
in the sense
that they allow people
to get a better cycle
which represents an investment
for the next ones
so they contribute
to the evolution of the soul.
They aren’t precious
only in one cycle
but for polycyclicity.
Rebirth theories are many.
And even with non-theistic traditions,
we see huge differences
because of the soul.
The choice is always possible.
And soul is not necessary
for all of them.
There is no equivalence
not even an implication.
