The answer to this question starts at the very beginning when Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden Fruit in the garden of Eden. Because they took of the fruit they became mortal and had to experience all that comes with mortality such as death, sin, and tribulation. This was all part of the great plan of Happiness and because of the fall we were all able to come to earth to experience these things ...
