Part of the idea of evolution is that an organism should actualize its potential or it will mutate into something different. People who don't adapt to reality will die because their beliefs and actions don't sustain life. One of the definitions of truth is that which sustains life in its optimal blossoming.
The idea of reincarnation is that if an individual soul doesn't actualize its full potential in one's lifetime, they will have to come back and try again.
So many people don't optimize their potential in their lifetime and it is a loss for them and humanity.
Many of the social policies created and implemented are not life-giving for all people and so they must be changed or life on the planet suffers for all living things.
Clinging to dysfunctional thought systems runs deep because people cling to their egos thinking their navel is the center of the universe and they would rather die than change their mind. Clinging to dysfunctional thought systems people do not actualize their potential. Some people, like followers of Diogenes, seek for the truth and in their search they change the world.
Public service is a spiritual path if people want to see it and pursue it as such. It is as much a spiritual journal as it is a secular vocation. Some people get this, but I suspect most of the population has not attained this level of awareness yet, but someday they will. The question is not whether they attain this level of awareness but when and how. It may take many lifetimes.
One of the definitions of God that I like is "the good, the true, and the beautiful."
