When someone is neglecting their best interests its the responsibility of someone with a better understanding of events  and who has a persons best  interests at heart to turn them around . A well wisher will stop them from a webb of further  entanglements that  push them much much further in something entirely unbeneficial and actually harmful.  In the case of a human life the Vedas gives guidance and warnings , a consciousness within the material universes is knowingly or unknowingly responding to it . A life of  incalculably complex karmic synchronicities is in operation , and those without the specific tools have no way out . What is  described as good and bad in ordinary material  life calculations are in absolute  spiritual terms  described as all bad . This is because good karma and bad karma deviate one from the best of destinations , where birth , death , old age and disease are left behind along with the influences of the ethereal modes of nature that force the conditioned souls to act practically against their wishes , the power of maya and material desire is overwhelming,  its Gods illusion,  what do you expect.
Death is much feared by everyone, and if there is God, people shake their fists in anger at Him , at having everything in their lives taken away by Him . However, someone who lives a life of harm to themselves and to others causes  greater and greater entanglements  and pain . Those who  do not  realise their full absolute potential and who fail to understand  the sciences of mind , matter, and consciousness need a reset , a reset is mercy .
Part of the reset and rectification processes which  assists in a recovery of good consciousness often means a spell within the mindset of the animal kingdoms where previous synchronicities can be played out in relative safety avoiding harm to others ..The reset of death and new life should always be seen in positive ways . God is all good and eternally has the interests of every being deep within His own  heart . With that purpose, He constantly accompanies every being within their hearts . Much greater destinations where a natural bliss and happiness with pure love are destined for all being . God or Krishna lives in realms of spiritual existence where birth , death , old age, and disease are unheard of , miseries of body , minds, and miseries inflicted by other conditioned beings are fully absent . Those that are  inflicted by the material energies and laws of physics.
Child like purity and simplicity are the quality of the soul . Living eternally for the moment , demonstrating the  increasing and ever new  enthusiasm and  bliss that is inherently stationed within the heart . The qualities of Divinity and His associates are  experienced to the full they are unlimitedly and spiritually  astounding . This is our right  and our destination. Death comes to take us a little closer in one way or another .

Thus Krishna says …

janma karma ca me divyam
evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ
tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti so ’rjuna

Translation

One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.
