That's the point of life while we are still animating these puppets of crude matter, we assume and strategize and hopefully learn our lessons. We sometimes get it wrong, and sometimes it turns out right in the end.
Until we can all realize (and evolve) to our true nature as luminous beings, where nothing but truth and love shine brightly, we have to do the work as 3D beings in the physical world.
Tough work it is, as Yoda might say.
