"Good" and "bad" are such subjective things. By whose standards, my own?

Nope, its objective. Your opinion is irrelevant, although you can try to figure out what the objective definitions of good and bad are.

If you want subjective, the other option in this pairing may be more to your liking ;)

Ah, so I merely have to solve a philosophical riddle that humanity has been wrestling with since the concepts of "good" and "bad" were invented, then. :) I'd be a bit wary of the definitions of "joy" and "agony" here too.

So, wait, if I believe I'm going to be reincarnated as a mermaid... or a dragon... or... your mom... wow. Epic.

I think that it would have to be the people don't KNOW that this is the case while alive. Otherwise its highly abusable. Its just that when you die, it turns out you were right (at least about yourself).
