I think it would be beneficial. many would stop hoping for something better, and work to create it here instead :)
our souls evolve, until we have achieved the ultimate purity and no longer need to return to live another tortured existence
All of that is an attempt to make sense of why bad things happen in an assumption of an "ordered" and "good" universe, and possibly run by some "ordered" and "good" "God", etc. To justify the bad, it's part of "lessons" we need to "learn" in order to "Evolve" and return to "source".
