The round of rebirth is a universal phenomenon and concerns every human being regardless of his/her race and creed. It is a fact of life which everyone must know. Ignorance of the round of rebirth is dangerous and can jeopardize one's life by causing one to fall prey to the dictate of one's defilements. Right understanding about the round of rebirth can lead one to wish for the way out of suffering. The Human Realm is a plane of existence where Kamma, be it good or bad, can be accumulated to the fullest. The Human Realm is like the center of all good and bad Kamma. The physical form of a human being is robust and strong. It is conducive to the accumulation of Kamma, which in turn propels one along the long journey within Samsara. If good Kamma is accumulated, it will lead one to a long life of blissful enjoyment in the States of Happiness until such time as the accumulated merit is spent. Therefore, merit is a commodity which needs constant replenishing. If bad Kamma is accumulated, it will lead to a long life of suffering in the States of Unhappiness until the ill consequences are exhausted, provided that bad Kamma is not being further accumulated.
