Well, we’re literally in hell, so it follows from there that the game of life is thoroughly rigged, especially against decent people. This world is so corrupt that even churches, mosques, synagogues, shrines, temples, places designed to be houses of God, places meant to be literal holy ground, are routinely twisted against us by the adversary, Lucifer. If you thought that hell is a place of boundless torment where they just inflict infinity pain all of the time, think again; if that were what hell is, you would just get used to it. Here on Earth (hell), you get just enough good times to know what good times are.
So the test, the real test, the one that people don’t want to hear about, isn’t of whether you get gf, make megabux, become a formidable gigachad warrior, or whatever else (although you should pursue all of the above), but of if you sell your soul along the way to do so. And there is no dearth of ways to sell your soul, either. It’s a figure of speech and it lacks concrete definition, but you’ll know your real and serious decision points when they arrive before you.
So, what I’m saying is, you appear to be doing the right thing, by trying, but that doesn’t mean you’ll win. In hell, you can do the right thing, and get the wrong outcome. In fact, part of what makes hell so hellish is that moral choices map inversely to good outcomes. Turns out, crime and sin do pay, highly at that.
