The only difference between the worldly path and the spiritual and between good and evil is the length of view we take.
The person who only has faith in today is trapped into grasping for everything they can get.
The person who has faith in a lifetime can chose and settle for life long acquiantances.
The person who has faith in the afterlife, or many lives or at least in something beyond death can sacrifice things in this life for benefits in the next.
The person who has faith in enlightenment can sacrifice endlessly lifetime after lifetime for attainment of that eternity.
Thus the person with long view builds their life on more secure and unchangeable foundations that the person who only believes in today.
