DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divine GuidanceTo live a life wholly dedicated to recreational pursuits alone is often considered the ideal life by many. Some do seem to actually achieve this. Can Creator share if this is indeed a good or bad thing? Creator has said that in this day and age, EVERY human currently being born has come down with the goal of being in service to the light and helping to save humanity from a final solution on the part of the interlopers. A life filled with fun and recreation would seem to work against that agenda? Can Creator comment?

We have already backed solidly the idea of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so to turn around now and say that "Recreation and fun are bad" puts us in conflict with prior declarations, but you are speaking of extremes. To live one’s life for recreation alone seems a questionable undertaking when so many are suffering, and there is so much to do to right the wrongs of history bringing about a highly uneven world where many lack anything in the way of modern conveniences, and subsistence living with much suffering is the norm for far too many. One has to be closed off to a fairly high degree to justify a life of self-indulgence under such circumstances when one could apply one’s time and energy, if only to some degree, for the assistance of others. That would be a wiser choice because one would gain for the soul much in the way of good karma, as well as learning and growth to broaden one’s horizons and develop greater wisdom and discernment from taking on such challenges, and learning firsthand what it truly takes to be of service and make a meaningful difference in a complex and difficult world where there is much in opposition to human progress. Indeed, your charter is to solve the problem of evil. That will not come about through self-indulgence in spending one’s time seeking recreation and a life of leisure, so there needs to be a proper ordering of priorities if one is to serve the highest good. And that includes meeting your obligations as a soul-based being and a member of the human family, to not squander your good fortune on self-indulgent pursuits but to pay something back, use your wherewithal to good advantage in striving to help others in some way, as at least a part of your endeavors, as that will have many, many benefits you cannot obtain through idle pursuits.
